Diagnosis from Bonato et al. (2003: 549)^[1]:

Body evidently tapering backwards. Leg-bearing trunk uniform in colour, without dark patches. Cephalic plate evidently longer than wide. Usually an entire clypeal plagula, covering more than posterior half of clypeus. Tens of clypeal setae. Spiculum absent. Internal margin of labral anterior ala reduced to a pointed end; posterior alae with notches or longitudinal stripes. Coxosternum of first maxillae divided, nonareolate; anterolateral corners usually absent. Coxosternum of second maxillae either undivided or divided by a mid-longitudinal suture. Groove from metameric pore and foraminal process reaching either postero-external corner or lateral margin of coxosternum. Telopodites of second maxillae usually well developed and overreaching those of first maxillae, terminal article often swollen and homogeneously covered with setae. Forcipular tergum slightly wider than long, with a mid-longitudinal sulcus. Cerrus composed of 2 lateral groups of setae only. Forcipular trochanteropraefemur quite stout, with a distal tooth only. Sternal mid-longitudinal sulci not furcate. Number of pairs of legs 41, 43, 45 or 49. Sternum of last leg-bearing segment with a pillowlike process. Legs of last pair with several additional short setae and a tuberclelike praetarsus covered with tiny spines.
