Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Misra (1999: 142-143): ''Body long, flattened with parapodia deeply incised. Prostomium with 2 biarticulate palps and 2 antennae subequal to palps. Tentacular segment achaetous, indistinctly separated from prostomium, with 2 pairs of tentacular cirri - anteroventral pair shorter, subequal to antennae and posterodorsal pair slightly longer. First setiger distinct from peristomium. Dorsal cirri short and subequal to ventral cirri, but those of the first setiger longer than subsequent ones. Notosetae stout emergent hooks; neurosetae simple, of variable length, with capillary tips. Pygidium rounded with a pair of short anal cirri. Pharynx unarmed, cylindrical, with distal circlet of conical papillae. Epidermis smooth.'' [details]
