Rem.: For Suarez-Morales & al. (2006, p.104), the inclusion in this genus seems to be correct: 4 caudal setae, well developed eyes, absence of P5, 3 postgenital somites, and a proximal hyaline lobulated process on the distal antennular segment
After Lee J. & al. (2016, p.421), male genitalia with a relatively short median shaft with its posterolateral corners extended as elongate lappets belong subgroup ''Type II'' (Suarez-Morales & McKinnon, 2014).
