The new species is characterised by body length of about 4,5 mm; a spiral body posture; bluntly rounded, confluent lip region; small slit-like amphid aperture; bilobed amphidial fovea; bluntly rounded tail; and stylet length about 172 pm. It is compared with L. costatus Jacobs & Heyns, 1987, L. pulcher Jacobs & Heyns, 1982, L. pint Jacobs & Heyns, 1987 and an unnamed Longidoroides species described from Brazil by Rashid, Coomans & Sharma (1986).
