amphid diameter 6mu (0.5 cbd), 14 mu from anterior end (1.5 hbd), cephalic setae 4mu; spicula 28mu, gubernaculum 18 mu, 1 supplement 12 mu from cloaca (0.5 abd) and 1 at 49 mu from cloaca (2.1 abd)

Identification using key in: Gerlach, S. A. (1950). Die Nematoden-Gattung Microlaimus. Zool. Jb. (Syst.). 79: 188-208. (Newly described species from the North Sea since 1950 were considered separately.)

Distance of amphid from anterior end seems very small for this species.
