Emended diagnosis by Hutchings & Glasby (1988: 20): ''Branchiae, 2 or 3 pairs on segments 2, 3 and 4, branchiae branched. Lateral lobes present on segment 3, sometimes on peristomium. Notopodia from segment 4, notosetae smooth tipped, some setae with serrated margins; long shafted uncini present from segment 5 (setiger 2); subsequently uncini become short handled avicular uncini. Uncini initially arranged in single rows, but on posterior thoracic segments uncini arranged in double rows face to face, abdominal uncini arranged in single rows.''
