Description

The genus Kasibelinurus was described by Pickett as having "Ophthalmic ridges effaced; precardiac field defined by anterior prolongations of the cardiac furrows; opisthosomal pleurae with distinct inner and outer zones." The same source later states that Kasibelinurus had a telson with restricted movement based on the shape of the opisthosoma.
