Diagnosis Amended diagnosis by Peixoto & Paiva (2017: 956-957): "Prostomium anteriorly rounded or with short anterolateral projections, narrowing posteriorly, with caruncle. Nuchal organs absent. Two chevron-shaped chitinous plates or single chitinous plate surrounding anterior part of prostomium. Eyes absent. Peristomium well developed forming posteriorly open collar that surrounds prostomium. Branchiae absent. Parapodia of first chaetiger reduced, lacking notopodial postchaetal lobe and with small neuropodial postchaetal lobe. Subsequent parapodia larger, well-developed with rounded noto- and neuropodial postchaetal lobes. Posterior notopodial lobes connected by low dorsal ridge or ridges absent. Notopodial chaetae all capillary or capillaries and multidentate hooded hooks on posterior chaetigers. Posterior neuropodia with long-shafted, multidentate hooded hooks, with complete hood. Sabre chaetae present. Pygidium morphology uncertain, possibly rounded with a pair of small anal cirri."
