Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Horst (1918: 247): "Prostomium bearing tentacles, palps and two pairs of eyes, as in Nereis. Proboscis without horny paragnaths, only armed with soft papillae and with a pair of jaws of typical nereid form. Parapodia conspicuously biramous, with a high, conical, dorsal ligule, bearing the dorsal cirrus upon its tip or somewhat beneath it. No true falcigerous setae. In the epitocous form no special lamellae developed, but the original lobes provided with cultrate setae of a special shape." [details]
