Diagnosis Original: "Animal minutissimum, interdum simplex, vagum: saepis compositum vegetans: pedunculatum, coronatum Limbo contractili, subreniformi, undulante, saepe ciliato."
Amended, after Ahlstrom (1940) [Ref.362260]: "Brachionid rotifers with illoricate, retractile head and loricate body, usually separated into a dorsal and a ventral plate (in some species a basal plate is also developed) more or less compressed dorso-ventrally. Anterior dorsal margin with a variable number of spines, usually six or four; mental margin usually rigid, elevated, with a medium sinus. Postero-lateral spines developed on some species, postero-median spines also present on a few species. Foot opening usually at posterior end of lorica, between bases of posterior spines if present, seldom with a surrounding sheath. Foot long, wrinkled, retractile (not jointed), toes two."
