Morphology and Anatomy:

.

  • Body slender, Cuticle with fine transverse striations, Lateral chord occupying 14–17% of the body diameter at mid-body.

  • Lip region rounded, offset by a constriction, about 0.3 times as wide as body diameter at posterior end of esophagus.

  • Lips practically amalgamated, labial papillae protruding.

  • Amphidial foveae cup shaped, opening at the level of the constriction, apertures about 0.6 times as wide as lip region width.

  • Odontostyle asymmetrical, with a distinct lumen.

  • Odontophore arcuate, narrowing posteriorly, about 0.8 times as long as the odontostyle.

  • Guiding ring distinct and single.

  • Esophagus in three parts, anterior slender, narrower isthmus-like portion and a cylindrical basal expansion which occupies 21–28% of the total esophageal length.

  • Cardia short, rounded. 

  • Prerectum 3.3–5.9 times and rectum length 0.9–1.5 times the body diameter at anus.

  • Tail elongate conoid with rounded terminus, posterior region bent dorsally, 2.8–3.9 times the anal body diameter long.

Female:

  • Genital system didelphic-amphidelphic; ovaries reflexed, usually reaching the junction of oviduct and uterus

  • Oviduct consists of a wider pars dilatata and a slender part; sphincter present at the junction of oviduct and uterus.

  • Uterus simple and with a wide lumen

  • Vulva transverse.

  • Vagina extending inwards 45–56.5% of corresponding body width. Pars proximalis vaginae with thick walls; pars refringens absent.
