全長 14-40 mm (14-17 [Kobayashi, 1940a]、20-40 [Stephenson, 1923; Julka, 1982])、体幅 1-3 mm (1-3 [Julka, 1982]、1.3-1.5 [Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a])、体節数 70-97 (70-98 [Julka, 1982]、78-97 [Stephenson, 1923]、94 [Kobayashi, 1940a])。剛毛はルンブリクス型で、対の間隔は狭く、体後部に行くに従って間隔が広くなる (Stephenson, 1923)。体前部では dd=2/3 U だが、後部では 1/2 U になる (Stephenson, 1923)。
第一背孔は第 5/6 体節間溝 (Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a)、または第 5/6 または 6/7 体節間溝 (Julka, 1982; James, 2004c) に開口する。口前葉はproepilobous (Stephenson, 1923)。
体色は一様なバフ色で色素沈着はなく、環帯は褐色 (Kobayashi, 1940a)。
受精囊孔は第 7/8/9 体節間溝 の A 剛毛線上 (Julka, 1982)。環帯は剛毛を欠き (Kobayashi, 1940a)、第 13、14-18、19、20 体節 (5-8 体節を占める) (Stephenson, 1923)、第 14-18、時に13-21 体節に達する (Julka, 1982)、または第 13-20 体節 (Kobayashi, 1940a; James, 2004c)。環帯は鞍型であるが (Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a)、腹面はやや厚い (Kobayashi, 1940a)。雌性孔は第 14 体節の腹面中央に 1 個のみ(Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a; James, 2004c)。精溝は直線的で、第 17-19 体節を占める (Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a)。摂護腺孔は 2 対で、第 17、19体節の ab 剛毛線上 (Kobayashi, 1940a) または a 剛毛線上 (Julka, 1982)。
<内部形態>
砂嚢は第 7-8 体節にある (Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a)。石灰腺は卵型で 3 対あり、第 15-17 体節 (Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a)。腸管は第 18 体節から始まる (Kobayashi, 1940a)。腎管は小さく、各体節の体壁に 3-4 個ずつ着く (Stephenson, 1923)。
受精囊はごく小さく、主嚢は卵型もしくは洋なし型 (Kobayashi, 1940a)。導管は主嚢の嚢状部よりも長い (Stephenson, 1923; Kobayashi, 1940a)。副嚢は小さく、クラブ型で主嚢導管の中央に開口する (Stephenson, 1923)。性的剛毛は 2 タイプあり、一つ目は長さ 0.32 mm、幅 0.5 μ で先端はやや曲がり、 8 個の鋭く尖った小さな鋸歯を持つ。二つ目は長さ 0.27 mm 太さ 5 μ で、スプーン型に凹む (Stephenson, 1923)、または長さ 0.27-0.4 mm、太さ 3.5-7.5 μ (Julka, 1982)。貯精嚢は痕跡的で、第 11 体節に 1 対 (Stephenson, 1923)。

生息環境
インドでは、洞窟の中からも発見されている (Stephenson, 1924a)。
備考
形態学的検討から、Cognetti (1905c) はそれまで品種とされていた palmicola と pacifica を亜種 octonephra のシノニムとした。
Stephenson (1920) は、環帯が鞍状ではなく全周を巻き、受精囊の副嚢が 2 本あるものを変種 malabarica とした。
琉球諸島から記載された hatomaana は、雌性孔が一つと記述されている一方で輸卵管は別れて開口すること、摂護腺が 1 対しか無いことから、本種 (Csuzdi, 1995) もしくは saliens (Easton, 1981) のシノニムとされているものの、どちらに帰属するのかは議論が続いている。本種は雌性孔が 1 個で摂護腺は 2 対であるため、本種ではなく saliens のシノニムである可能性が高い (Easton, 1981; Blakemore, 2008d)。なお、Blakemore (2008d, 2012b) は疑問符付きで本種と saliens 双方のシノニムとしており、正確な所属は不明。
Shen & Tsai (2007) は生殖器の形態が異なることから独立種とした。
しばしば、シャワーの排水管の中から発見されるため、住宅侵入型種 (domicole species) と呼ばれている (Rota & Schmidt, 2006; Csuzdi et al., 2008)。さらに、女性の陰部から採集されたことが報告されている (Stephenson, 1931; Blakemore et al., 2012)。ただし、これらは寄生ではなく単なる一時的な滞在(入浴や洗浄、野外活動によって一時的に侵入)によるものだろうと推測されている (Blakemore et al., 2012)。
