Segment über dem Ruder ein langer Rückencirrus; an den übrigen Segmenten über dem Ruder ein kurzer, meist blattartig plattgedrückter Ruckencirrus; Bauchcirren fehlen." [details]Diagnosis (simplified key-derived diagnosis from backtracking the Autolytinae key in Nygren, 2004) Proventricle and chitinous pharynx present Pharynx with one or several sinuations, ventral cirri absent. Proventricle with square-shaped muscle cells Antennae present Cirrophores on tentacular cirri and chaetiger 1 only (or not so) Cirrophores on tentacular cirri and chaetiger 1 only (not on following chaetigers) Bayonet chaetae with distal denticulation Bayonet chaetae of even width Chaetae other than simple chaetae present Trepan with unequal teeth in 2 sizes, arranged in 2 rings [details] Etymology The generic name Proceraea is composed by the Greek prefix pro-, meaning 'in front of', and the latinization of the Greek word kéras, meaning 'horn', and refers possibly to the presence of the three long antennae referred in the original diagnosis of the genus.
