Morphology and Anatomy:

.

 

  • Body medium-sized to large.  
  • Head with lregion truncate, continuous with body contour. 
  • Body with very fine striae
  • Cephalic framework weak  
  • Stylet 12-14 µm long, knobs rounded.
  • Esophageal glands abutting, pyriform.  
  • Tail cylindroid, with a broadly rounded terminus, sometimes rather short for the family, with thick cuticle at the distal extremity.  

Females: 

  • Have only one genital branch.  Posterior branch is atrophied to a post-uterine sac; however, the vulva is near mid-body.

Males:

  • Similar to female except for tail shape.
  • Testis outstretched, with small spermatozoa.
  • Spicules distinct, 16-18 μm long.
  • Tail tapering gradually to a pointed terminus.
  • Bursa large, surrounding tail tip
