Diagnosis

Peri-Atlantic gammariform amphipods similar to Homoeogammarus , but each telson lobe at least twice as long as broad, with a distal and a lateral cluster of spines. Gnathopod propodus II longer or shorter than propodus I. Uropod III exopodite well developed, with long and straight setae joined to marginal groups of spines (rarely on one side only); endopodite slightly elongated (not scale-like) with (beside terminal spines) at least one facial or marginal spine.
