Buccal cavity with large dorsal tooth, with or without denticles or smaller ventrosublateral teeth. Pharynx with or without defined terminal bulb. Gubernaculum usually with hammer- or L-shaped lateral pieces (wrongly indicated as telamon). Pre-cloacal supplements absent but a pre-cloacal differentiation of body cuticle may be present. Marine.
