Identification. The tergites, pleurites and sternites are completely fused into body rings. The head is lacking a median suture. The anterior legs have a characteristic gap between leg 3 and 4, as legs 4 and 5 are on the posterior end of body ring 5. The specimens listed here are a bit unusual as they have frontal setae on their head, a character absent in all recent Spirostreptida . The presence of 2 pairs of gonopods in the males identify those specimens as members of the suborder Cambalidea , as species belonging to the other suborder, Spirostreptidea, only have one pair of gonopods ( Enghoff et al. 2015).
