Lorica outline oval, compressed dorso-ventrally, closed laterally, with dorsal and ventral indentations for head and foot. Retractable head shield present. Foot with four pseudosegments; foot and toes completely retractable in trunk. Two slender, moderately long toes with acutely pointed claw. Trophi malleo-virgate. Rami reduced, triangular with lateral alulae. Fulcrum fairly short, thin, straight and less high, without distal expansion. Unci a thin plate with five slender teeth of decreasing length; head of teeth free, tiny additional linear teeth present. Manubria long, straight, head reduced; cauda strongly expanded.
