Descriptions

Female have a total of 130-132 setae, and the male 124-128 setae. These include four cephalic setae, two subdorsal and two subventral, all about 7 µm long. In cervical and oesophageal regions there are four rows of somatic setae also about 7 µm long. The setae in these rows became shorter towards the middle of the body. The distribution of setae had the following pattern. (ref. ID; 1723)
  • Female: Cephalic setae 4, subdorsal somatic setae/subventral somatic setae 6/5, oesophageal, pre-vulval, post-vulval, tail regions 10/8-9, 12/10, 7-8/3-4. (ref. ID; 1723)
  • Male: Cephalic setae 4, subdorsal somatic setae/subventral somatic setae 6/5, oesophageal, genito-intestinal, tail 20-22/19-22, 6-7/3-4. (ref. ID; 1723)
