Description Belondiridae. Body tapering conspicuously to the very narrow lip region. Tails short, rounded or conical-attenuated. Pores of lateral chords in a single species. Spear rather irregular in outline. Guiding ring obscure. Posterior muscular part of the oesophagus surrounded by a spiral sheath of muscular tissue, not offset by constriction. Nucleus of dorsal oesophageal gland conspicuous. Female gonad posterior, single and reflexed; anterior part rudimentary. Testes 2, dorylaimoid. Spicules dorylaimoid; lateral guiding pieces present. Supplements are an adanal pair and a series of low, rounded elements, only 2-3 in number and spaced far apart [details]
