Diagnosis (adapted from Brescovit 1997: 31) Distinguished by the combination of the following characters: carapace sub-rectangular (Fig. 54); tracheal spiracle in between the middle of the abdomen and the epigastric groove; lateral margin of endites concave. Males are further distinguished from Katissa by their short, not elongated palpal cymbium, and from Shuyushka gen. nov. by the absence of a ventral patellar apophysis present in the latter. Females are distinguished from Katissa and Shuyushka gen. nov. by the knob-like projection of the epigynum.
