    Spear length 19.3u.  Width of spear 2.4u.  Spear aperature 41% of spear length.  Length of spear extension obscure.  Guiding sheath everted slightly when spear is completely retracted; anterior attachment of sheath ring-like.  Esophagus enlarges gradually between narrow anterior and wide posterior protions; enlargement begins at 46% of esophagus length from base.  Cardia cylindrical and 16-23u long.  Intestine 6-8 cells in circumference.  Rectum length 34u.  Prerectum length 90u.  Anal body diameter 31u.  Tail arcuate-conical with tip narrowly rounded to subarcuate.  Tail curved ventrally 30-60 degrees  from body axis.  Two caudal papillae.
