Diagnosis "A genus of the subfamily Eucytherurinae with a small (typically c. 400 μm long) carapace of subquadrate, subtrapezoidal or subtriangular lateral outline, with a short caudal process situated above mid-height. Anterior margin gently convex to almost straight. Ventral margin gently sinuous or smoothly convex, often overhung and obscured in lateral view by ventral to posteroventral tumidity, tubercle or ridge. Eye tubercle present or absent. Surface is very ornate with reticulation, tubercles or ridges. Normal pore canals usually of two types: those emergent through muri of the reticulation, sometimes with pore conuli, simple and each bearing a sensillum; and those arranged in groups in the sola of the reticulation, simple and without sensilla. Four subovate adductor muscle scars in a vertical row and a subreniform frontal scar. Hinge, in right valve, with a prominent circular or ovate tooth at each end and with a finely locellate median groove narrow at mid-length and often flexured or sinuous (i.e., lophodont). Calcified inner lamella relatively broad anteriorly and posteriorly with anterior and posterior vestibula present or greatly reduced (if not absent), narrow ventrally; marginal pore canals few, simple. Antennula with six podomeres, the fourth and fifth fused, the rest articulated. Antenna with four articulated podomeres. Mandibular coxa ventrally slender, toothed; exopodite branchial plate with one long and one greatly reduced setae. Maxillular branchial plate with c. 15 rays and two anteriorly-directed setae. Setal formulae of walking leg protopodites: L5 1+2+2; L6 1+1+2; L7 1 + 1 + 1. Female furcal (caudal) rami each very short and bearing up to four setae of varying lengths. Posterior extremity of the body is slender and pointed." (Horne & Lord, 2024: X). [details]
