Labial region with deep indentations.

Labial framework massive and strongly developed.

Stylet elongate, about 95 µm long, with cone about 68% of total stylet length.

Corpus as in Belonolaimus.

Esophageal glands overlap beginning of intestine.

Tail relatively short (c' = 1.7), cylindroid with a broadly rounded terminus.
