Diagnosis Original: "Dicranophorine rotifers with elongate, slender, illoricate or semiloricate body; a head segment separated from the abdomen by a distinct neck; the abdomen tapers posteriorly to a minute tail; the foot is short and conical; the toes are fairly short and slightly decurved. The corona is ventral, rarely oblique, with two lateral, auricle-like tufts of long cilia; the rostrum is broad and fairly prominent. The trophi are modified forcipate and usually strongly asymmetric; the rami are very stout and without inner marginal teeth; the right ramus has usually a prominent alula, the left a rudiment or none; the fulcrum is large; the manubria are long and usually clubbed anteriorly; the unci are of very irregular form and firmly united to the external edges of the rami, serving only to transmit the pull of the adductor muscles from the manubria to the rami. A well developed retrocerebral sac is present, but no subcerebral glands; eyespots are usually absent, frontal when present." [details]
