The organism’s body appeared somewhat contracted, measuring around 90 µm in length. A clearly visible posterior seta was observed, situated on the ventral side of the body and extending to a length around 40 µm.

It is probable that these anterior setae were approximately equal in length to the body when the organism was alive.
