All measurements are given in µm.

(CP) number of cuticular projection pairs; (CP diff.) Cuticular projections’ differentiation (combs to spines) in relation to the vulva; (V) position of the vulva in relation to the oesophagus–intestine junction; (Ant) anterior; (Junct) at junction; (Post) posterior; (Vulva) at vulvar level; (–) unknown data; (?) doubtful data. Superscript numbers in each row correspond to the reference for the different morphometric values reported for the same species.
