Diagnosis
Based on adults of both sexes. Eyes well developed or less frequently rudimentary, in any case separate. Antennula with small, setose male lobe. Antennal scale lanceolate, setose all around, with small apical segment separated by a transverse suture. Antennal peduncle 3-segmented. Labrum asymmetrical with two unequal posterior lobes. Cutting edge of each mandible reduced to triangular mesial lobe with mostly narrowly rugged margins, no teeth, no spines, no setae. Distal segment of maxillula distally widened, distal margin with series of spines decreasing in size mesially, no setae; endite with few, mostly three, large barbed setae, sometimes also with much smaller setae. Maxilla comparatively small, setose, with well-developed exopod, no spines. Thoracic endopod 1 with enlarged propodus armed with spiniform modified setae on distal margin; dactylus slender with slender nail. Carpopropodus of thoracic endopods 3–8 with two or more segments separated by transverse articulations. Marsupium with two pairs of large oostegites plus a vestigial pair on thoracopods 6. Penes mostly large, tubular. Pleopods reduced to setose plates in both sexes. Uropods unsegmented, setose all around, endopod ventrally with series of spines proceeding parallel and close to mesial margin. Telson with terminal cleft armed with laminae or spines, no seta; terminal lobes outside cleft with spines only; lateral margins with spines at least on distal portions.
