Dimensions: Females (n = 6): L = 1.80- 2.15 mm: a = 33 -42; b = 6.0-7.8; c = 52 -67; V = 14- 1741_47l5- 20 Fourth—stage juveniles (n = 5): L = 1.33-1.55 mm; a = 33 -35; b = 6.5 - 7.3; c = 43 - 58; V = 43 - 48. One female has V = 53. Lip region offset by depression. Cuticle 4 [x thick, increasing to 6 [x on tail. Outer layer sharply demarcated. Lateral chord one-fourth to one-fifth of body width in mid-body. Length of odontostyle 18 -19 y. in adults; the L - 4 have an odontostyle of 15-17 jx and a spare one of 18 -19 fx.
