a degree that they are scarcely furcate. Cephalic probolae varying
from rounded axil borders to distinct flap-like, furcate, forwardly pointing
processes. Cephalic axils edentate. Anterior part of oesophagus
slender, almost cylindrical except in its tapering posterior quarter; set
off from isthmus only by a break in the musculature. Female tail
slightly convex-conoid or sub-cylindrical to bluntly rounded terminus;
generally with 15 or more annules.
