Diagnosis. Adult body length 360 μm and width 265 μm. Body color chestnut brown.

Prodorsum: tip of rostrum round; interlamellar seta (in) the longest among the prodorsal setae, lamellar setae (le) and rostral setae (ro) long; they all barbed throughout their length, sharply pointed at tip except for interlamelfoveolae; genital plate with a few foveolae, relatively long setae; anal plate with two minutely barbed setae; integument of the plate shows larges large and small foveolae mixed. Three pairs of adanal setae weakly barbed. Aggenital setae weakly barbed, almost twice as long as adanal setae.

Distribution. Korea (new record), Japan, Eastern Palaearctic region (as described in Subías, 2012).
