Diagnosis: The lateral and posterior margins of the hysterosoma are 

 not turned under. Legs in and iv are articulated at the lateral margin 

 of the ventral surface or only a short distance from it. The legs are 

 shorter than the body and of ordinary structure. Femora i and ii lack 

 a conspicuous stalk or projecting scapular angles. The propodosoma 

 has ledgelike or leaflike lamellae and the dorsum of the hysterosoma 

 is either smooth or weakly punctate.
