The abdomen has the posterior margin broadlytriangular, the median angle and the lateralangles rounded. The uropoda are about as longas the abdomen. The branches are almost equal inlength, the outer one being but slightly shorterthan the inner. They are about one and a halftimes longer than the peduncle.
