Proximal region of spine bearing anumber of smooth setae, the number and relative lengths showing individualvariation. First exopodite segment with one serrated spine and one short plumoseseta. Second exopodite segment with one serrated spine and one long plumosesetae. First and second endopodite segments each with a single plumose segment with sharp, spine-like distal corners and bearing two serratespines and four plumose setae. Second and third pairs of legs similar, the ornamentation as follows: firstand second exopodite segment each with a serrated spine and one plumose seta(Fig. 2D). Apical segment with three lateral spines, one long terminal spine andfive plumose setae. Outer l
