Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. G. Barras 2007Stem group Atelostomata with an elongate disjunct apical disc. The disc contains a number of complemental plates that preclude the direct contact of oculars II and IV and also of genitals 1 and 4 (Fig. 4D). The disc trivium and bivium are joined by a short string of complemental plates, similar in size to the genitals. The genus retains the primitive periproctal groove (Pl. 1, fig. 6a) and also phyllodes (Fig. 10F) and a peristomial well (Pl. 1, fig. 6b).
