SEM face view with labial disc lemon-shaped; first labial annule divided into six sectors, lateral sectors smaller, submedian sectors somewhat flattened.  Labial region without deep, longitudinal indentations.  

Stylet elongate, 60 to 100 µm long.  Cone is 60 to 80% of total stylet length.  

Labial framework always weak. 

Procorpus thickened to accommodate the long stylet, and separated from the median bulb by a constriction; median bulb with strong valve.  

Esophageal glands overlapping beginning of intestine.  

Tail sometimes short for a member of the Dolichodoridaec' = 2 to 3), tail shape varies from cylindroid, with a broadly rounded terminus, to almost conoid.
