Amphidial fovea oval, relatively large, 9 μm in diameter (53% of corresponding body diameter), located at the level of base of buccal cavity, 12 μm from its front edge to the anterior end. Buccal cavity cylindrical, cuticularised, 15 µm deep and 5 µm wide. Pharynx cylindrical, slightly swollen at base, not forming posterior terminal bulb. Cardia nearly spherical, projecting into the intestine. Nerve ring situated just anterior to the middle of pharynx. Secretory–excretory system not observed.

Spicules paired, elongate, slender and equal in length, 71 µm long, i.e. 3.7 abd, or 9% of body length, curved as the body bends, proximal end truncated, distal end tapered. Gubernaculum rather simple, with only one section of dorsal apophysis, about 10 µm long.</p><p>Females. Similar to males in most morphological characteristics except amphidial fovea smaller and circular (6–7 µm in diameter). Reproductive system monodelphic with a single anterior outstretched ovary, located to the left of the intestine. Vagina straight, 0.4 times vulval body diameter long. Vaginal glands present. Vulva situated at about mid-body.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BA8795FF90EA40FE4B3C39FC40FB80	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
