From a pond with residual snow and ice, similar to the habitat in which Foissner collected the type species Wallackia schiffmanni. Oral structures are in the "Gonostomum pattern," inwardly displaced CV at bottom of AZM, very long and widely space caudal cirri, 2-nodule macronucleus. Ventral cirri were observed in vivo, as 2 long rows. Photographic records of the genus are extremely scarce.
