Dorsal tubular ducts and preopercular pores present or absent. Anal plates triangular, together quadrate, each with or without a single discal seta or clustered discal setae. Margin. Marginal setae slender, straight or curved, spinose with pointed apices, or with tips bifid, frayed, fimbriate or branched. Each stigmatic cleft containing one, three or more spinose stigmatic spines. Venter. Antennae each with 3‒8 segments. Inter-antennal setae present or absent; one to three pairs of long pregenital setae present; submarginal setae present or absent.
