Diagnosis

Carapace in lateral view diverse in shape: subovate, elliptical, moderately elongated with length less than twice the height, in frontal view, position of LV and RV equal or slightly unequal; LV with internal groove along valve margin in inner view, inner lamella without inner list (type C) or with 1 inner list (type D); d-seta on T1 present; hemipenis with large, wing-like lateral shield and with 1 postlabyrinthal spermiduct loop; Zenker organ with cone-shaped chitinous sheet at both proximal and distal ends. Strandesia is similar to Bradleycypris and Pseudostrandesia. It is distinguished from the former by the morphology of anterior part of the LV in internal view and the hemipenis morphology and from the latter by the presence of a d- seta on T1 and the presence of a short Rome organ. (From Savatenalinton & Martens, 2009)
