  • Lip region  rounded, with three annules.
  •  Stylet stout, knobs large, cupped anteriorly.
  • Median bulb oval, valve conspicuous.
  • Esophageal glands elongated, overlapping intestine; dorsal gland nucleus near middle of lobe, subventral nuclei in the posterior portion.
  • Hemizonid near esophago-intestinal junction, the excretory pore immediately behind the hemizonid; hemizonion distinct, at about 60% of the gland lobe.
  • Gonad out-stretched; spermatheca square or oval to elongated usually filled with sperm.
  • Postuterine sac elongated, about 2 times the body width at the vulva.
  •  Tail conoid with terminus coarsely annulated or consisting of a large terminal annule.
  • Pphasmid centered in lateral field about midway on the tail.
