Description (from Thorne, 1929)
Cuticle thick with exceedingly fine striae.
The amphids are elongate oval markings one-eighth the head width and have
deep inner connections plainly visible from a lateral view. No papillae
or setae are visible. At the opening of the pharynx are three refractive
denticle-like organs similar to those of Ironus. The eggs
are three to four times as long as the body width and usually crowd the
ovaries out of position. The long tapering tail ends in a very prominent
pointed spinneret four times as long as wide.
This rare species has been collected by the writer
only from high mountain soils. Three specimens were in this collection.
