). Body generally extremely compact, round, pronotum and elytra strongly convex in lateral view. Head hypognathous, triangular in frontal view, in some species with developed frontal callosities and frontal ridge. Antennae short; antennomeres 5–11 strongly widened, forming a distinct antennal club. The shape of the antennal club varies from relatively elongated, not welldefined one to strongly compact and rounded (the latter is present in most species). Pronotum strongly convex, legs short. Metatibiae extremely widened. Procoxal cavities open posteriorly. Mesoventrite completely invisible in ventral view, entirely covered by an elongated anterior metaventral process. First abdominal ventrite with an anterior process reaching the space between metacoxae with distinct ridge surrounded by deep punctures. Elytra strongly convex, usually covered with poorly visible punctures. Males of most species winged; females of all known species flightless and wingless. The morphology of both male and female genitalia is extremely diverse and seems to be one of the only morphological characteristics useful for species-level diagnostics. Aedeagus moderately sclerotized to nearly completely unsclerotized; in many species, basal opening of the aedeagus strongly elongated, forming up to a half of the aedeagus length. Aedeagi of many species strongly curved in lateral view or, on the other hand, strongly elongated, in extreme cases longer than abdomen stretching up to prothorax. The morphological diversity of spermatheca is also high; the shape of the pump and receptacle varies from a cylindrical pump with distinctly separated, short and slender receptacle, to bow-like spermatheca with receptacle and pump fused. Duct usually short, but strongly coiled in many species; on the other hand, the duct is extremely shortened and nearly not present in some species. Vaginal palpi usually long, slender and parallel.

mentions some species to be associated with mosses, which is the reason why we list the genus here. However, the majority of species are probably associated with decaying material and can be collected by sifting forest leaf-litter without mosses. Therefore, we treat the genus as leaf-litter-inhabiting in the phylogenetic study.
