description
Six females. Dimensions: L = 0.71 - 0.94 mm; a = 25 - 34; b = 3.7 - 4.3; c = 7.8 - 8.5; V = • ' - i o 44 _ 478 - i 2 Body taperjng but little anteriorly, the diameter at the base of the oesophagus being just over twice the width of the lip region. The latter is offset by constriction; lips well developed. Length of odontostyle = 9 - 11 [A. Oesophagus expanded distinctly behind its middle. Vulva transverse. Tail curved strongly to ventral side, over more than 180 °; its length equal to 7 - 9 anal body widths. Rectum 1.0 - 1.5 anal body widths long, prerectum 1.5 - 3.5 X as long as rectum. The specimens agree very well to de Man's 1884 illustration. This species differs from E. agilis not only by its smaller size, but also by the shorter odontostyle which measures 0.9 - 1.1 lip region widths; by the body tapering much less anteriorly and by the much slenderer and more strongly curved tail. Samples 1, 25, 27 and 61.
