-
Habitus
Body colour transparent/white, eyes
present in 70% of specimens mounted in Hoyer's medium.
-
Cuticle
Except for all legs, where well
visible granulation is present, cuticle is smooth, i.e. without
gibbosities, papillae, pores, spines or sculpturing.
-
Buccal
apparatus
Mouth antero-ventral.
Bucco-pharyngeal apparatus of the Macrobiotus type, with the
ventral lamina and ten peribuccal lamellae. The oral cavity armature
composed of two posterior bands of teeth (similar on dorsal and
ventral side). The first/anterior band of teeth is absent or not
visible under PCM. The second band of teeth comprising small
granules arranged in a few irregular rows that run around the oral
cavity wall (PCM), is positioned at the rear of the oral cavity,
between the ring fold and the third band of teeth. The third band of
teeth is positioned just before the buccal tube opening and composed
of large transverse ridges (PCM). In this band, three ventral and
three dorsal teeth are present (two lateral and one median). The
median tooth is sometimes divided into a few smaller teeth.
Pharyngeal bulb spherical, with triangular apophyses and three
rod-shaped macroplacoids. Macroplacoid length sequence 2<1<3. The
first macroplacoid without constrictions but distinctly narrower
anteriorly. The second macroplacoid of a uniform width and without
constrictions. The third macroplacoid with a sub-terminal
constriction. Microplacoid absent.
-
Legs and claws
All legs with well visible
granulation.
Claws of the hufelandi type,
stout. Primary branches with distinct accessory points. Lunules
under claws I-III smooth and distinctly dentate on legs IV. Thin
cuticular bars under claws I-III present. Other cuticular
thickenings on legs absent.
-
Eggs
Laid freely, white, spherical and
ornamented. Processes in the shape of blunt or slightly sharpened
cones. Labyrinthine layer between process walls is visible under PCM
as a clear reticular pattern. Eggs shell areolated with a single
ring of ten areolae around each process. Internal surface of areolae
smooth and without pores.
-
