New diagnosis

Body usually “doratodesmid”, with or without mid-dorsal projections; conglobation usually complete, only seldom imperfect due to underdeveloped or hypertrophied paraterga. Collum and metaterga often (micro)setose, usually tuberculate, only rarely smooth. Gonopod coxae usually abundantly setose ventrolaterally; telopodite usually slender, not enlarged towards end of femorite, but typically with a more or less distinct process or outgrowth laterally, opposite recurvature point of seminal groove; solenomere thereafter usually comprising most of telopodite, sometimes elaborate; seminal groove normally terminating distally to subapically, with or without a hairpad; acropodite normally small to nearly absent.
