Remarks. This genus is distinguished by the combination of the uropod endopod with two articles, and maxillule palp with two setae. In Pseudodiastylis , which also has a two article uropod endopod, the maxillule has no palp. Watlingia also has a two article uropod endopod; however, in this genus the maxillule palp has a single seta.
