Spine length of first row, second row and third row about 4 μm, 8 μm, and 11 μm, respectively. From third row to end of procorpus, size of spines similar in size but gradually becoming smaller after procorpus (Fig. 5A, C). Lateral alae absent. Head well-developed, set-off from body by a deep groove and bearing 8 papillae arranged in 4 pairs. Amphids with small, slit-like apertures. Oral opening triangular, surrounded by a cuticular ring (Fig. 6C, D, E). First cephalic annule absent (Figs. 5B; 6A). Stoma relatively long, about 5 head lengths long, surrounded by an oesophageal collar. Oesophagus consisting of a muscular procorpus, short isthmus, and basal bulb. Procorpus clavate, bulb spherical, valve-plate well-developed. Nerve ring encircling procorpus at its midregion. Excretory pore located just posterior to base of bulb. Intestine simple, its anterior region slightly dilated. Reproductive system didelphic-amphidelphic. Vulva located posterior to mid-body.
