Tahaminaindicagen. nov., sp. nov. is characterized by females with a body length of 1.3-1.4 mm; lip region 8.0 μm wide, approximately one-fourth of the body diameter at the pharyngeal base; amphidial fovea cup-shaped, about one-half as wide as the lip region diameter. Odontostyle 8.0-9.0 μm long, 1.0-1.1 times lip region diameter; guiding ring simple; odontophore rod-like, 10.5-11.5 μm long with basal thickening or minute knobs-like structure; pharynx consisting of a weakly muscular anterior part, expanding abruptly into a cylindrical basal bulb, occupying about two-fifths to one-half of the total pharyngeal length; female genital system monodelphic-opisthodelphic with anterior uterine sac; vulval opening pore-like, and tail elongated with a slight dorsally curved tip.
