Body oblong-ovate, a little more than twice as long as wide, dorsal surface strongly convex; able to contract into a ball like an armadillo. Head twice as broad as long with the antero-lateral angles produced in large and rounded lobes; median lobe small and triangular and with acute apex. Eyes small and compound, situated at the bases of the antero-lateral lobes. First pair of antennae inconspicuous, very small. Second pair long and slender with flagellum composed of two sub- equal joints; peduncular joints increasing in length distally. Thoracic segments subequal in length; large coxal plates not distinct from their segments; those of first segment expanded to embrace the head, extending to base of antero-lateral lobes as well as posteriorly in acute processes; lateral margins straight. Legs moderate, increasing in size posteriorly. Abdomen with six distinct segments not abruptly contracted; first two with lateral margins covered by last thoracic segment; third, fourth, and fifth with lateral lamellae prominent and curved posteriorly to continue the even outline of the body. Telson tri- angular, conically produced. Uropods considerably produced beyond general outline of body, with peduncle extending a little beyond the middle of apical process of telson; inner ramus origi-.
