Buccal
apparatus
Bucco-pharyngeal apparatus of the Macrobiotus type, with
ventral lamina and ten peribuccal lamellae. Oral cavity armature absent or not visible under
PCM. Pharyngeal bulb spherical with two rod-shaped macroplacoids. Microplacoid
absent. Macroplacoid length sequence 2<1. The first
macroplacoid with a central constriction and with central and subterminal projections. The second macroplacoid with a subterminal
constriction and projection.
-
Legs and claws
Claws of the Dactylobiotus type, with very short basal
portions, similar in size and shape on
all legs. Primary branches of claws with well developed accessory
points. Lunules absent, but a robust semilunar cuticular connection
between external and internal claws is present. Claws on the first
three pairs of legs almost identical in length but on hind legs
evidently longer.
-
Eggs
Spherical or slightly
oval, white, laid freely. Ornamented, without areolation, with 41–46
processes on the circumference. Processes in the shape of short and
wide cones (base diameter is greater than a half of the height). The
majority of processes have a single sharp tip, however, some
processes are bifurcated. The processes are smooth, but the surface
between them is covered with a very delicate reticulation that
connects the processes.
