Geophilids with head usually only slightly elongate; clypeal areas usually not distinct; labral side-pieces distinctly separated by an intermediate part; second maxillary coxosternite medially long and sclerotized, without both statuminia and anterior inner processes; second maxillary pretarsus claw-like or reduced; forcipular tergite approximately as broad as the subsequent tergite, covering most part of the pleurites; forcipular coxosternite usually wider than long, gradually narrowing posteriorly, without anterior denticles, with chitin-lines, with coxopleural sutures diverging anteriorly also in their anterior half; forcipular trochanteroprefemur only moderately elongate, usually without denticles; forcipular tarsungulum with at most a small basal denticle; trunk sternites often with “carpophagus” pits and often with ventral pore-fields, usually a transverse band on the posterior part of the sternite; metasternite of the ultimate leg-bearing segment usually wider than long; coxopleura with sparse ventral pores, most of them close to metasternite; pretarsus of ultimate leg pair claw-like or reduced.
