Palps inserted at anterior dorsal junction of prostomium and peristomium. Setiger 1 lacking notopodial lamellae and setae, neuropodial lamellae bilobed, with capillary setae. Branchiae beginning on setiger 4, continuing for several setigers; elongate, cylindrical, with wrinkled appearance. No interramal or interparapodial pouches. Notopodial setae all capillaries. Neuropodial capillaries of setigers 1 and 2 mostly replaced by unhooded, recurved acicular spines from setiger 3, these spines grading into bidentate hooded hooks by middle of body and continuing to last setiger; ventral sabre setae lacking. Pygidium with 4 unequal lobes. [details]
