<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="183">Body medium- to large-sized (ca 10-42 mm long, ca 0.64-3.2 mm wide), with 28 or 30 segments. Mentum not divided. Paraterga either distinct keels or small bulges, or missing. ♂ legs 3-7 often distinctly and increasingly crassate, some with femoral knobs. ♂ legs 10 with coxal glands, but ♂ legs 11 either with or without coxal glands. Female genitalia often species-characteristic.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="183">Anterior gonopods strongly reduced, consisting of only a small sternal (coxosternal?) plate with a median lamellate process and two lateral spikes (coxites). Posterior gonopods with large and bipartite coxites, divisions being clearly visible when seen in anterior view, either branching or simple; lateral division often in the form of a broad, flat plate turned with its axis parallel to body midline. Posteriorly, at least one branch covered with fine cuticular fimbriae present, entire posterior surface of coxite may appear densely hairy. Telopodites may be quite small, typically reduced to a prefemur and a femur, the latter turned sharply dorsad.</paragraph>
