Preclitellar chaetae 60–85 μm × 7 μm ventrally, 55–58 μm × 6 μm laterally, postclitellar chaetae 75–85 μm × 6 μm ventrally, and 58–75 μm × 6 μm laterally. DORSAL VESSEL. From XIII–XIV. SPERM SACS. Large sperm sacs, located in X–XI. SPERM FUNNEL. 376 μm long, about 3 × as long as wide, fixed. Sperm duct about the same wide in all length (20–25 μm wide). MALE COPULATORY ORGANS. Male glands multiple: one larger rounded primary bulb (diameter 75–85 μm) and numerous smaller glands. SPERMATHECAE. Ectal duct of spermatheca 62–90 μm long with large glands around orifice of duct. Ampulla spherical (diameter 120–140 μm) with one diverticulum (about 270 μm long), or 2–3 smaller diverticula (80–110 μm long). Additional specimens would be required for accurate description.
