Taxon discussion

The original description is based on single female specimen ( Allgén 1959: 132, Fig. 134). In general morphology, this specimen resembles members of the family Comesomatidae (Fig. 2B): amphid is multispiral; pharynx is muscular along its entire length, cylindrical in its anterior part and with weak basal swelling; female reproductive system didelphic, gonads outstretched. This species is considered species inquirenda et incerta sedis within the family Comesomatidae .
