Diagnosis Original: "Dicranophorine rotifers with subcylindric or fusiform, illoricate body; a head segment separated from the abdomen by a distinct neck; the abdomen tapers posteriorly to a minute tail; the foot is conical and rather short: the toes are relatively short and decurved. The corona is oblique, with two lateral, auricle-like tufts of long cilia; the rostrum is short and broad. The trophi are modified forcipate; the rami are bent at a nearly right angle at mid-length and terminate in long, slender, single teeth; unci and manubria are both jointed on the external angles of the rami, the unci being very long and slender.No retrocerebral sac is present; some species have subcerebral glands; eyespots may be frontal, cervical or absent."
