Description. Internal sac everted dorso-apically in right lateral view. VA and VB largest in bladders, followed in order by DA, DLL.

VA swollen hooked, long, everted ventrally at apex; apical surface depressed. DA swollen dorsally. DLL roundly swollen, vested numerously with spines, which are weakly chitinous. VB oval and widely swollen, everted left laterally, vested numerously with long spines, which are forming a band. Flagellum well short, curved. Medial tooth short, extending ventro-apically, tapered gently at apex.
