Distal part of prostomium as shelf-like tentacular membrane with distinct lateral lobes. Two pairs of arborescent branchiae with short stem; first and second pairs of branchiae about same length, slightly more than half the body width. Prostomium with lateral lobes, Without lateral lobes on anterior segments, but midventral lobe on segment 1 present. 2526 thoracic segments. One pair of nephridial papillae on segment 3, inserted laterally and close to branchial stalk. Ten pairs of genital papillae on segments 615, originating from anteriorly bases of corresponding notopodia and aligned to them. Notochaetae with bulbous wings in the middle of longer chaetae, distally serrated. Neuropodia from segment 5, double rows of uncini from segment 11 almost to end of body. Pygidium with crenulated margin.
