(2014) : Lips high. Buccal cavity always with three mandibles and three teeth. One mandible and one tooth together form a unit which can be moved back and forth by specialized pharyngeal muscles, whereby the frontal section of the unit is moved in line with the body axis. A pharyngeal gland opens through each tooth. All three teeth have the same length or the dorsal tooth is distinctly smaller than the two ventrosublateral teeth; the two ventrosublateral teeth always are equal in length. The genera are differentiated by the degree of development of the mandible-teeth complex.
