Members of this genus are morphologically characterized by an elliptical body composed of certain number of Segmented worm, segments, depending on the species, with external gills situated on both lateral sides of the back, each segment has a pair of them. Their number and repartition also depends on the species.Rômulo Barrosoa & Paulo Cesar Paivaa, A new deep-sea species of Chloeia (Polychaeta: Amphinomidae) from southern Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2011 Lateral sides of the body are cover with fin, sharp and venomous whitish calcareous bristles or setae. Adults of this genus are often colorful especially on the dorsum.
