The buccal capsule was funnel shaped. There were 3 pairs of ventral teeth and 2 pairs of dorso-lateral teeth. Spicules were simple and equal, 0.71 to 0.73 mm in length. Gubernaculum was shaped like a cricket bat, the widest part in the posterior half. The bursa was well developed, the ratio between posterolateral-mediolateral to mediolateral-externolateral was 1:1. The inner branches of the dorsal rays were partially fused. Tail of the female worm was 0.22 to 0.23 mm in length and conical. [AS].
