: Small dalodesmids with head + 19 segments and prominent paranota with rounded corners. Males with numerous sphaerotrichomes on anterior legs; a round pit on the underside of the somite 2 paranotum; low, blunt projections on the sternites of the last somites, close to the legs; and somite 3 and 4 metatergites particularly small relative to more posterior metatergites. Clearly distinguished from similar and co­occurring dalodesmids by the solenomerite being carried on a large posterior projection arising midway along the telopodite.
