This is a small species, attaining a length of about 2 cm. upwards. The maximum width of the strobila is about 0-7 mm. The scolex measures 0*4 mm. across, and the suckers have a diameter of 0*2 mm., with a large forwardly-directed aperture. The rostellum has a muscular cushion at its apex, Ffc. 3.

This measures 0*12 mm. in diameter and bears two rows of about twenty-two hooks each. The hooks of the anterior row are about 20 g in length, those of the posterior row a little shorter. All the hooks are of the triangular shape characteristic of the genus. Segmentation begins almost immediately behind the scolex. Each segment has a slightly raised fold or frill of cuticle running round it transversely near its anterior end (see ,F.)..
