Diagnosis Authors: "Prostomium reduced, short, about as long as wide, curved ventrally, with two spherical anterior lobes; posteriorly with short caruncle; occipital antenna absent. Branchiae from setiger 2 continuing on subsequent segments; branchiae of setigers 2–9 simple, free from dorsal lamellae; following branchiae from setiger 10 to end of body broad, membranous, fused basally to dorsal lamellae, laterally expanded. Setiger 1 reduced, lacking notosetae; subsequent parapodia biramous with well-developed pre- and postsetal lamellae surrounding setal fascicles. Alimbate, mostly hirsute, capillaries in noto- and neuropodia. Setigers 4–9 with modified neuroacicular aristate spines each covered with numerous protruding fibrils (in SEM). Unidentate hooded hooks present in noto- and neuropodia; each narrowing to curved tip or fang. Neuropodial sabre setae absent. Pygidium with one dorsal and two lateral cirri."
