Diagnosis

Carapace loaf-like, reniform or subtriangular. Surface usually smooth, rarely ornamented. Zone of concrescence rarely wide, marginal pore canals short, not branched. Antennula 5-, rarely 6-segmented: first segment representing fused coxa and basis, first and sixth endopodal segments free, second and third as well as fourth and fifth segments fused. Seta CB2 not present. Exopod reduced on Ex1 and Ex2 setae. Male antenna with sexual bristles, claws G1 and G3 reduced, z1 and z2 setae transformed into long claws, sometimes only z1 seta transformed. Mandibular vibratory plate with numerous rays, palp 4-segmented, 3+2 setae on second segment, terminal segment noticeably 0.5 times wider than long, and with central claw fused with segment. Terminal segment of maxillular palp very tiny, hardly visible, overlapped by penultimate one. Prehensile palps symmetrical. Basal segment of second thoracopod without any seta, endopod 4-segmented. Third thoracopod 4/5-segmented, Te and Tf setae absent. Caudal ramus with posterior seta, posterior claw sometimes reduced, but always claw-like, never reduced to seta. Exit of anterior seta well pronounced and chitinised. Lobe b without chitinised dorsal projections, lobe a with dorsal projection extending from rest of hemipenis body, no internal coils. Zenker's organ with 5+2 rows of spines, rarely with 4+2 rows. Genital field rounded.
