Diagnosis. Tube white, opaque; (semi)circular to trapezoidal in cross-section; longitudinal keels, peristomes, may be present. Operculum funnel shaped with crenulated edge (fused radii). Peduncle smooth, cylindrical, without wings; inserted just below and between first and second dorsal radiole. Radioles arranged in semi-circles. Pseudoperculum and inter-radiolar membrane present. Branchial eyes may be present. Seven thoracic segments. Collar trilobed. Thoracic membranes long, forming ventral apron across anterior abdominal segments. Collar chaetae bayonet-shaped and limbate. Apomatus chaetae absent. Uncini saw-shaped, with approximately 5 teeth, anterior fang simple pointed. Thoracic triangular depression present. Abdominal chaetae flat trumpet-shaped with denticulate edge; uncini similar to thoracic ones, smaller, anteriorly saw-shaped but becoming rasp-shaped towards the pygidium.

Remarks. The diagnosis above is essentially the shortened generic diagnosis that fits a general “ Serpula ”. A generic revision is badly needed.
