Subadult male, 3,0 mm: A, lateral view; B, dorsal view of carapace; C, antenna 1; D, detail of distal end of antenna 1; E, maxilliped 3; F, pereiopod 2; G, pereio- pod 4; H, pleopod 3; I, telsonic somite and uropod. Remarks This species conforms to the general facies of the genus. It differs from the other unserrated members as follows: the carapace of the female is somewhat deepened midway along its length; the eye is heart-shaped in dorsal view; the merus of maxilliped 3 is slightly broadened distally, particularly in the female. The exopods of the pereiopods are smaller and narrower than those of other species, and the peduncles and rami of the uropods are particularly stout. The proportions of the uropodal segments are distinctive, especially in that the first segment of the exopod and the second of the endopod are subequal. Distribution Endemic to Natal from 45 to 182 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
