Amended diagnosis after Segers (1995) [Ref.15457]: "Diagnosed by the structure of the foot and of the trophi in the female. Foot inserted subdistally, consisting of an anteriorly partly covered, rigid foot pseudosegment bearing two separate or partly fused toes, or a single toe. Trophi characterised by a short fan- or rod-shaped fulcrum; small but broad, asymmetrical rami bearing alulae; unci with mostly three unequal, fused teeth; manubria broad, elongate, and curved distally."
