Diagnosis Original diagnosis by San Martín (2003: 227-228): "Cuerpo pequeño a diminuto, típicamente corto y con pocos segmentos. Prostomio con tres antenas, cuatro ojos y dos manchas oculares anteriores. Peristomio ancho, generalmente cubre la parte posterior del prostomio, y a veces forma dos expansiones laterales. Un par de cirros tentaculares. Cirros dorsales en el segundo setígero de ordinario ausentes aunque existen en algunas especies. Antenas, cirros tentaculares y dorsales de fusiformes a piriformes, con base bulbosa y extremo más o menos alargado. Un par de cirros anales similares a los dorsales, pero algo más alargados. Sedas compuestas heterogonfas, con artejos alargados o cortos, bidentados, unidentados, o de ambos tipos. Sedas simples dorsales y ventrales en algunos parápodos. Faringe habitualmente sin papilas en la embocadura; diente faríngeo pequeño, situado cerca del margen anterior o algo retrasado. Proventrículo en forma de barril, largo y ancho, con numerosas filas musculares estrechas. Papilas cortas y dispersas, a veces difíciles de ver. Incubación de los huevos dorsal." [details]Diagnosis Diagnosis by San Martín (2005: 73): "Body small to minute, more or less densely covered by papillae, usually small, short, scarce, sometimes also distributed on cirri and parapodia. Prostomium with 3 antennae, 4 eyes and 2 anterior eyespots. Peristomium usually large, covering posterior margin of prostomium, sometimes forming 2 dorsolateral wings covering nuchal organs; single pair of tentacular cirri. Dorsal cirri on chaetiger 2 absent or present, depending upon the species, usually absent. Antennae, tentacular cirri and dorsal cirri spindle-shaped to pyriform, with slightly bulbous bases and short to moderately long tip. A pair of anal cirri similar to dorsal cirri, usually longer. Compound chaetae heterogomph, with blades short or long, sometimes long and slender, bidentate, bidentate and unidentate, or unidentate. Pharyngeal tooth small, conical to rhomboidal, located near anterior margin, sometimes near middle of pharynx; pharynx usually without papillae around opening, but present on larger species. Proventricle long and wide, barrelshaped, with numerous, slender muscle cell rows (15–22). Mature males with natatory chaetae; females brooding eggs dorsally, by means of capillary notochaetae."
