A small species, mostly represented by posteriorly incomplete specimens; holotype 4 mm long, 0.5 mm wide for 20 setigers; paratype (USNM 60685) 7.5 mm long, 0.5 mm wide for 29 setigers; specimen from (ZMH P-27788) larger, complete in two parts, 13 mm long for about 57 setigers. Color in alcohol: light tan. Body cylindrical throughout; thoracic region with 11–12 setigerous segments; peristomium and first 3–4 setigers swollen, partially inflated, with segmental boundaries somewhat obscured (Figs. 22 A, 23A–B); subsequent segments smooth, distinct from one another, with prominent dorsal intersegmental annulations apparent from between setigers 4 and 5; each annulation with medial swollen area, sometimes bearing black reticulated ...
