| A diaresis is also present on the exopod in the Laomediidae and in some taxa in the Axiidae. |
|
| Our cladistic analysis confirms that the taxa included form a solid clade based on the apomorphic presence of a diaresis on the exopod of the uropod. |
|
| The protopod and the endopod are of about the same length, while the exopod is slightly longer. |
|
| We used a light microscope and 400 x magnification to inspect the second antenna and the associated exopod and endopod. |
|
| Legs 1 and 2 have relatively long rami with the endopod noticeably longer than the exopod. |
|
| Exopod unsegmented, with 2 long and 1 shorter unequal terminal aesthetascs, and 1 simple seta. |
