""Parapodia biramous, with prechaetal lobe and ventral lobe on each parapodium; dorsal cirrus not present. Prechaetal lobes highly asymmetrical; wide and foliose from chaetiger 1 to chaetiger 3, then becoming progressively smaller towards last chaetigers; prechaetal lobe tip ventrally displaced; conspicuous bilobed appearance from midbody to last chaetigers. Anal tube square-shaped, as long as last 2 chaetigers; posterior and ventral margins open, provided with long unpaired anal cirrus, thick at base and distally tapered, projecting outwardly. Posterior border provided with 5–6 pairs of elongate, finger-like, paired anal cirri, almost as long as anal tube, shorter and thinner than pair of clavate basal cirri."
