Somatic setae indistinct. Labial region truncate conoid; lips fused. Cuticularised plate underlying cephalic cuticle around amphid weakly developed, extending from level of cephalic setae bases to posteriormost edge of amphid, 9 µm long and 7.5 µm wide at base; cuticular plates connected with each other on ventral and on dorsal sides. Inner and outer labial sensilla not observed. Cephalic sensilla setiform, equal to 2.7 labial region diameters in length, their bases are located 1.5 µm from anterior end. Amphidial fovea an inverted U-shape with dorsal branch longer than ventral branch. Narrow space between amphidial branches (amphidial shield) not cuticularised and not ornamented. Stoma very small, its cuticularised lining uniform with lining of the pharynx. Pharynx distinctly subdivided into anterior corpus and posterior postcorpus; corpus fusiform, muscular; postcorpus consists of anterior narrow non-muscular isthmus and weakly developed basal swelling. Pharyngeal gland nuclei and orifices indistinct. Nerve ring not observed. Secretory-excretory system not observed. Tail elongate conoid. Caudal glands opening via three separate openings, spinneret absent. Reproductive system obscure. Spicules paired and somewhat unequal in size, arcuate, with small ovoid manubrium and subcylindrical shaft. Gubernaculum absent.
