Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Fauvel (1932: 197): "Thorax with seven setigerous segments, bearing dorsal and ventral capillary setae. On the 8th and 9th segments, ventral hooks and a dorsal copulatory organ with modified large-spines. In the abdomen, dorsal and ventral hooks and dorsal cirriform gills. Differs mainly from Capitella in having abdominal gills." [details]
