Raised opercular margin smooth. Chaetigers 1–3 (segments 5–7) with notopodia and notochaetae only, chaetigers 4–16 biramous with notopodia, neuropodia, notochaetae and neurochaetae, chaetiger 17 with notopodia and notochaetae only (ratio of number of pairs of notopodia to neuropodia 17/13). Notochaetae smooth or serrated (or plumose). Neurochaetal uncini with major teeth arranged in two or three (or more) rows. Posterior 5 segments fused to form a flattened plate or scaphe distinctly separate from the abdomen.
