Diagnosis. Body “doratodesmid”, with or without mid-dorsal projections; conglobation usually complete. Gonopod coxae usually abundantly setose ventrolaterally; telopodite usually slender, not enlarged towards end of femorite, but with a more or less distinct process or outgrowth laterally, opposite recurvature point of seminal groove; solenomere thereafter taking up most of telopodite, sometimes elaborate; seminal groove terminating distally to subapically, with or without a hairpad; acropodite small to nearly absent.
