Body length measured 1 mm and the bursal nozzle 25 µm. Numerous brown rhabdoid glands all over the body except in the posterior region (there were less of them there); one huge egg and others smaller. The male copulatory organ was long and slender and had a subterminal opening (almost 75 µm). It was very similar to Philactinoposthia sp-4 and sp-14 (tentatively identified as sp-4).
