Other diagnostic characters (in combination) include their blunt anteromedial clypeal projection, laterally expanded triangular frontal lobes, tiny or absent eyes, clubbed antennae, fusion of mesopleuron with the mesonotum, and relatively high helcium.

. All known specimens were collected from soil or leaf litter, and their morphological characteristics strongly suggest a cryptobiotic lifestyle. Their tiny body size and unusual sinuous body form suggest that they inhabit and forage in very tight spaces, and their strange mandibular dentition and medial clypeal projection suggest that they are specialist predators, though the identity of their prey is unknown.
