Lips set off by slight depression, outer circlet
of papillae low, obscure; inner circlet papillate. Amphids
broad, deep. Spear length, exclusive of extension, equal to lip region
width. Spear extension surrounded by muscular bundle but not flanged.
Esophagus enlarged just back of middle by gradual expansion. Cardia
elongate-hemispherical. Intestinal cells with medium sized brown
or greenish granules. Prerectum length two to three times body width.
Rectum about as long as anal body diameter. Ovaries reflexed about
half way to vulva. Lateral cords one-fifth body width. Tail
ventrally arcuate, dorsally convex-conoid to small blunt terminus.
Diagnosis: Enchodelus with the above
measurements and general description. Most closely related to E.
arcuatus from which if differs in the papillate inner circlet of cephalic
papillae, relative length and form of spear, shorter ovaries and prerectum.
Habitat: Soil about roots of sage,
Artemesia
