Diagnosis Author: "Body oblong oval, like Sangiria. A long and narrow plaited caruncle, with a crenulated horizontal plate. Eyes present. Branchiae small, only consisting of a few filaments, the first pair of them on the fifth segment. Branchial cirri present. Bristles bifurcated. Anal cirri paired. Nearly allied to Sangiria, but sufficiently distinguished by the shape of its caruncle and the presence of eyes" [details]
