Telson long and slender, its branches reaching nearly to end of uropods. Length to base of fork twice the width, with long slender lateral spines. Arms of fork slightly divergent, about three-quarters length of telson, with two outer and two inner spinules. Eye very large and asymmetrical, total length of eye nearly one-quarter of length of body. Antennal scale with four apical setae not very distinct in size from the inner
