Diagnosis Colonial hydroids, branched or not, perisarc not ensheathing bases of tentacles; hydranth with one whorl of filiform tentacles; gonophores on specialized blastostyles replacing a hydranth, numerous, released as swimming ciliated sporosacs provided with one or two tentacle-like processes at their proximal end (tentaculoids). [details]Taxonomic remark It is unclear if this genus belongs to the Bougainvilliidae, Pandeidae or any other similar family is also possible. The position of the gonophores on the gonozooids is untypical. [details]
