Stiff and inflexible Eurymerodesmini, mandibular stipes with basal ridges extending into variable projections, postgonopodal sterna of males and all sterna of females hairy and without spines, caudal margins sublinear or gently curved, ambulatory prefemora without ventral spines, pregonopodal tarsal claws in males acuminate, gently curved or bisinuate. Gonopodal aperture usually heavily pilose, often enlarged or ornamented with variable configurations, anterior margin usually slightly indented, lateral margins simple or divided near midlengths into flared inner and outer margins forming hirsute pouches at caudolateral corners, caudal margins with or without densely hirsute subtriangular or clavate lobes, latter usually extending below level of adjacent ambulatory coxae. Gonopods laterally oriented, each rotated 180°

overhanging the caudal, rather than the anterior, aperture margins, the genus and its higher taxa reverse the overall gonopodal condition in both Xystodesmoidea and Leptodesmidea. To our knowledge, the apertures are simple and unmodified while the gonopods are elaborate and ornate in most representatives of these taxa. Likewise, while the lengths of the acropodital hairs vary, the long ones that usually extend well down the stems are the most conspicuous and contrast markedly with the short hairs in xystodesmines that are primarily basal and restricted to the “prefemoral extensions.” The hairs actually comprise two or three rows, and the apical tufts have from 4–18 hairs that substantially overhang the “distal zones”, with the higher numbers of hairs obscuring the latter.
