Diagnosis
Lobata in which the 2 oral lobes are of medium size and not provided with powerful muscles as in Ocyropsis. The 4 relatively short, simple auricles arise from the sides of the body immediately above the mouth and close to the sides of the oral lobes. They are not set within deep grooves as in Mnemiopsis. The peripheral chymiferous tubes form closed circuits in the oral lobes and do not end blindly as in Deiopea. The auricles are shorter and the oral lobes much longer than in Lesueuria. The combs of cilia are small and numerous.
