Diagnosis

Female- Head consisting of cephalosome only, with a pair of dorsally directed anterior processes. Neck short, consisting of first pediger. Trunk inflated, with a pair of divergent posterior processes. Abdomen imperceptibly fused with genital complex. Caudal ramus bearing 3 basal setae. Egg sac cylindrical, eggs multiserially arranged. First antenna modified, claviform. Second antenna unconate, with atrophied tip of antenna (=accessory antennule). Oral appendages of typical chondracanthid form. Legs 1 and 2 unmodified, biramous; rami with indistinct segmentation.

Male- Body less modified than most chondracanthids. Pedigers 1 and 2 not fused with cephalosome. Abdomen distinguishable from genital complex. Caudal ramus bearing 4 basal setae. First antenna with sharply divided thick basal and slender distal portions. Second antenna uncinate, with atrophied tip of antenna. Oral appendages basically as in female. Legs 1 and 2 large, unmodified, and biramous.
