Trophi symmetrical. Incus flat. Rami elongate; opening of subbasal chambers lateral, opening of basal chambers dorsal; rami tips blunt with minute medially directed blunt toothlet; inner margins without teeth; alulae absent. Fulcrum short, strongly expanded distally. Unci each with two equally long teeth composed of head and shaft. Manubria ramus length, with large head and rod-shaped cauda. Epipharynx two more or less trapezoid and slightly asymmetrical robust plates with large ventral opening.
