Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Treadwell (1943: 40): "Palps completely fused, forming a prostomial margin ventral to the bases of the dorsal tentacles. There are two pairs of tentacles, two eyes, and one pair of tentacular cirri. The apices of all parapodia are drawn out into slender processes much longer than the body width. Setae begin on the second somite, and are long, slender, and compound. Dorsal and ventral cirri are short and ovate with acute apices." [details]
