Taxon discussion

The original description is based on single female specimen ( Allgén 1933: 62-63, Fig. 35). In general morphology, this specimen resembles members of the family Microlaimidae (Fig. 2A): amphid circular in shape; stoma funnel-shaped with small dorsal tooth; pharynx is muscular along its entire length, cylindrical in its anterior part and with well developed basal bulb; female reproductive system didelphic, gonads outstretched. This species is considered species inquirenda et incerta sedis within the family Microlaimidae .
