Genus profile. Dorsal shield weakly sclerotised, smooth, with 5 pairs of solenostomes (it, iv, il, is, ic; absent id, isc). 18 pairs setae оn dorsal shield: AD1, AD2, AD3, AD4; PD2, PD3, PD4; AM1, AM2; AL1, AL3, AL4; PL1, PL3; PM1, PM2, PM3, PM4 — on the dorsal shield; AS; PS (both on interscutal membrane). Setae of dorsal shield medium-sized, pointed, with 1–3 serrations; AD1 and PD4 may be smooth or serrated. PM2 and PD3 setae are available. Setae AM3 and PL2 absent. Crater-shaped solenostoms penetrate deep into the idiosoma; solenostomes iv the largest; il, is, ic smaller and it minimal. All ventral setae short, smooth, sharp, and thin, except for weakly serrated PV, which are longer than others. The boundaries of the sternal shield and the location of setae ST1–ST3 and Mst in this zone are difficult to study even with the help of immersion and a phase-contrast device because of the very thin and highly transparent shields. Ventrianal shield with one pair of preanal setae PrA2; no anal pores. Setae V3 missing on interscutal membrane surrounding the shield. Peritremes short and wide, reaching only level of setae AS. Metapodal scutes narrow. The posterior part of the peritremal shield is caudally narrowed and rounded at the end or sharp. There are 2–3 teeth on Df of the chelicerae, and 1 small on Dm. The infundibulum of spermatheca is saucer-shaped with a small atrium, the neck is not pronounced. Legs without macrochaetes.

Two nominal species are known in the world fauna (Demite et al., 2022), one of them in Ukraine.
