Sharing with Nannolene remarkably long gonopodal flagella, which make a complete loop (360°) from their insertion points on the anterior gonopods towards the interior part of the posterior gonopods, differing from Nannolene by having the coxites of the anterior gonopods larger than the telopodites. First pair of male legs not modified.
