Diagnosis. Relatively small cnidarian-eating Archimonocelididae (< 5 mm in length) with a pair of seminal vesicles opening separately into the prostate vesicle at its postero-ventral side. The stylet is a straight to slightly recurve tube with an oblique terminal opening, surrounded distally by pairs of short hooks, sitting on strong muscles. Female duct moderately muscular without bursal enlargements nor vagina. The genito-intestinal duct departs from the female duct just anterior to the female pore.
