For Ohtsuka & Boxshall (2004, p.54) the following phylogenetically important, generic characteristics are reconfirmed by the discovery of this new species: 1- the primitive female genital system (plesiomorphy); 2 - the presence of modified 'shield-shaped' setules on the setae on the maxillary and maxillipedal endopods (autapomorphy): 3 - the loss of the outer distal spine from the first exopodal segment of P1 (autapomorphy). The type of female genital system in which a gonopore and a copulatory pore share a common slit is retained in the most primitive calanoid family Pseudocyclopidae and probably in the Boholinidae. In the Arietellidae only Scutogerulus retains such a system. This symplesiomorphy has previously been regarded as evidence of a close relationship between the Arietellidae and the Pseudocyclopidae by Andronov (1974), Park (1986) and Bradford-Grieve (2002).
