Abdominal tergites with setae S2 usually longer than S3, tergites IV or V to VIII each with paired lateral ctenidia, tergite VIII ctenidia posteromesad to spiracles and usually ending at base of setae S3; tergite VIII posteromarginal comb of microtrichia variable; sternite II with 2 (rarely 3) pairs of marginal setae, III to VII with 3 pairs, sternal discal setae present or absent; pleurotergites II to VII with or without discal setae.
