Diagnosis

1st urosomal somite unornamented, not laterally produced but produced ventrolaterally on each side (= remnant of primitive basal segment of P5) and bearing seta laterally. 4 terminal caudal setae bear long, fine setules along entire, or almost entire, lengths. A1 of female 12-segmented. P1 with both rami 2-segmented; those of P2-4 3-segmented. Medial lobe of basis of P1 bearing strong seta; those of P2-4 bearing small pointed spur at, or slightly abaxial from, corner. P4Rel without inner seta; P4Ri3 with 2 terminal spines. Spine formula 333; armature of swimming legs as follows: P1: 1.53, 1.511. P2: 1.1.43, 1.1.411. P3: 1.1.43, 1.1.411. P4: 0.1.43, 1.1.221. P5 1-segmented, situated on ventrolateral expansion of 1st urosomal somite, tapering distally and bearing long, apical seta and, usually, non-articulated spinule (may be greatly reduced) on inner margin.
