Type series

  1. Habitus
    Body transparent/white, eyes absent in specimens mounted in Hoyer’s medium.

  2. Cuticle
    Dorsal cuticle, including dorso-caudal portion of legs IV covered with small polygonal tubercles 0.8-1.2 µm in diameter. Spaces between the tubercles form a reticulum of grooves. Ventral cuticle smooth, without sculpturing. Gibbosities and cuticular pores absent.

  3. Buccal apparatus
    Bucco-pharyngeal apparatus of the Isohypsibius type, without the ventral lamina. Peribuccal lamellae absent. Oral cavity armature composed of two clearly visible round ventral teeth (sometimes a third, weakly developed tooth is also present). Pharyngeal bulb with long, triangular apophyses and with three granular macroplacoids, all without constrictions. Macroplacoid length sequence 1<2<3. Microplacoid and septulum absent.

  4. Legs and claws
    Claws of the Isohypsibius type, similar in size and shape on all legs. All primary branches with minute accessory points (sometimes not visible in poorly preserved/oriented specimens). Proper lunules at the bases of external claws, absent; but in some specimens a small, smooth areola is visible under the claw. Bars and other cuticular structures on legs, absent.

  5. Eggs
    Unknown.

  6. Remarks
    None.
