Description Neotype incomplete, 12 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, 50 segments (Fig. 3). Other complete specimens range from 3 to 21 mm long, 0.5 to 5 mm wide and 34 to 59 segments (Fig. 4A–N). Colour in ethanol light tan to light grey, old formalin fixed specimens with light pink colour. Body short and stout, of uniform width and height abruptly tapering at both extremities or with a distinct enlarged anterior half and posterior tail; anterior up to twice as wide as posterior, tapering towards pygidium (Fig. 4A–N). In larger specimens, first 6–8 segments not enlarged, slightly wider than pre-chaetiger area, and approximately as wide as tall.
