However, the members of the new genus lack the typical harpe but bear very long and fine hairs in high density particularly in the dorsal, setose side; a slight saccular appendage and a small digitate process (which sometimes leaning back inward) in the distal part of the ventral edge. The “saccular appendage” is a small, ventrally positioned harpe/clasper, which appears as mostly independent from the distal part of the sacculus; and the digitate process is a fine, rather anteriorly projecting costal extension, which may be curved backwards to the ventral surface of the valva.
