Carapace narrowly oval, with median keel running for some distance backwards from the small eyeless eyelobe, and behind the middle of the carapace's length flanked by a pair of raised ridges. Fifth pedigerous segment not wider than the pleon. Telson about */7*^^ of the peduncle of the uropods, the margins serrate and behind the middle having 3 pairs of lateral spines. First antenna with P*^ joint much longer than 2'^*^ and 3^ combined, principal flagellum 4:-jointed, accessory 3-jointed, about Second antenna 4-jointed, the slender 4*^ joint as long as the stout P*. Third maxilliped with 2^^^ joint not distally expanded and 5*^^i also nar- row. Peraeopod 2 slender, 2"*^ joint slightly shorter than rest of limb, needle-like 7'^^ about thrice as long as 6*^', both combined scarcely as long as the well spined d^^\ Third and fourth peraeopods much shorter than the second, their 2"*^ joint car- rying a minute 2-jointed exopod. Of fifth peraeopods no trace. Margins of uropods serrulate, endopod */5*^'^ as long as the peduncle, its l^^ joint about twice the 2"*^ and 3*^ combined, spines on the medial margin respec- tively 10, 3, 1; the exopod, with P^ joint little more than ^5*^''^ of the 2"*^, reaches nearly to the middle of the endopods 3"^ joint.
