Scope note: Género de bacilos gramnegativos, anaerobios, que no forman esporas, inmóviles. Los organismos de este género originalmente se clasificaron como miembros del género BACTEROIDES pero hallazgos bioquímicos y químicos en 1990 indicaron la necesidad de separarlos de otras especies de Bacteroides y, por ello se estableció este nuevo género.
