Diagnosis
Carapace variable in shape: trapezoidal, triangular, or reniform. Surface smooth or ornamented, covered with long, stiff and perpendicularly attached setae. Left valve overlaps right valve ventrally. Valves sometimes asymmetrical. Muscle scar imprints typical for Candoninae. Antennula consists of seven segments: first one represents fused coxa and basis. Other six segments belong to endopod. Exopod reduced to two setae. Fifth endopodal segment always without En5d seta. Antenna with 1-segmented protopod; exopod consists of plate and three setae (two short and one long). Second endopodal segment with one seta externo-medially. Male sexual bristles sometimes absent. In males z1 seta transformed into strong claw, while claw G3 reduced to seta. Mandibular palp 4-segmented, with two setae externo-distally on second and three setae on penultimate segment. Second segment with variable number of setae on inner edge: 3+2, 4+2, or 5+2. Terminal segment with two claws: one fused with same segment. Maxillular palp with trapezoidal terminal segment. First thoracopod with two exopodal setae and one Ta seta. Male prehensile palps asymmetrical: right stronger than left. Second thoracopod 5-segmented and with one seta on basal segment. Third thoracopod 4- or 5-segmented. Basal segment sometimes lacks d2 seta. Setae Te and Tf always absent. Terminal segment with three setae. Th2 and Th3 always long, while Th1 vary in L. Caudal ramus well developed, with all furcal elements (two setae and two claws). Zenker's organ with 5+2 rows of spines. Hemipenis with poorly clarified "M" process. Lobe "a" square-shaped and not extended. No loops on the internal hemipenis ductus. Female sometimes with developed genital processes on genital field.
