Morphology and Anatomy:

Similar to Lordellonema but as more slender body and elongate-conoid tail. Andrassy (2009) questioned whether the differences were sufficient to constitute a new genus.

• Body slender, length about 1 mm.
• Cuticular pores distinct with those on ventral surdfce only in anterior region.
• Odontostyle longer than labial width, dorylaimoid with aperture abou 33% of length
• Tail elongate-conoid
