Identification. The tergites, pleurites and sternites are completely fused into body rings. The head has a median suture, a character allowing for these specimens to be distinguished from the 2 other recent orders with complete body rings: Julida and Spirostreptida . A detailed analysis of the male gonopods ( Enghoff et al. 2015) is necessary to determine those specimens even to suborder level (e.g. the absence or presence of a tiny sternite connecting the posterior telopods, which are hidden within the anterior telopods), which is beyond the scope of this checklist.
