Males (n = 2): L = 0.59 -0.74 mm; a = 70- 75; b = 5.5-5.8; c = 2.7. Body annulation extremely fine, perceptible only in anterior part of neck. Lip region smooth, nearly semiglobular. Spear very indistinct. Median bulb of oesophagus located at 38 -45 % of neck length from head end. Isthmus very long and thin. A distinct hemizonid is present just behind middle of isthmus. Vulva tranverse; vaginal walls not thickened. No posterior uterine branch. Vagina directed obliquely anteriad. Dimensions of an intra-uterine egg: 79 x 9 u. Anus indistinct, very difficult to detect in specimens that do not lie exactly in lateral position. The tail measures 22-41 anal body widths in the female, 30- 35 in the male. This species too is very common and widespread on Spitzbergen.
