Ceratophore of median antenna in anterior notch; ceratophores of lateral antennae distinct, inserted ventrally. Tentacular segment (I) with 2 pairs tentacular cirri, with single seta; with conical facial tubercle. Buccal segment (II) with long ventral buccal cirri; without nuchal fold. Parapodia subbiramous. Notopodia small, conical; notosetae short, stout (not as stout as neurosetae), tapering to blunt tips. Neuropodia with longer rounded presetal lobes bearing subaciciilar digitiform processes and shorter rounded postsetal lobes; neurosetae stout, with faint spinous regions, and slightly hooked, entire tips. Dorsal cirri with cylindrical cirrophores, bulbous basally. Dorsal tubercles inconspicuous. Ventral cirri tapering. Nephridial papillae short, bulbous." [details]
