Diagnosis " Carapace with hinge margin straight, caudal process usually tube-like, positioned in continuation of dorsal margin, or strongly reduced in some cases. Macrosculpture usually represented by alar process, spines and crossed ridges, nodes and crossed sulci. Mesosculpture reticulated. External marginal ridge present. Inner sculpture might present one or two dike-like alae. Concrescence zone wide with simple marginal pore-canals. Vestibulum usually pronounced in anterior half. Besides wide normal pore-canals with bristles, conical pore-canals without bristles might occur. Fulcral point conspicuous (adapted from Schornikov, 1981)." (Bergue et al., 2025: 3) [details]
