Description

Parapinnanema Inglis, 1969 (emended after Inglis 1969, Gourbault & Vincx 1994 and Semprucci & Sorensen 2014)

Each annule is consist of small stick like projections at either side where one side projection is with forked head and other side is lacking such or comb like. Interannular ring is consist of interlocking pattern of forked head of one annule to the teeth of combed head of another annule. This complex network is covered by smooth epicuticle. Buccal cavity conical with one dorsal and two subventral plates; one large pointed tooth on the dorsal plate and three denticles plus a ventral tooth on each subventral plate. Tail conico-cylindrical. Raised precloacal and caudal modifications of the cuticle in males. Gubernaculum with L-shaped lateral piece. Elongated vulva, vagina opening wide, an internal double sphincter around the uterine chamber.
