Epipods and a pair of arthro- branchs on legs 1-4. Pleopods on somites 2-5. The large dorsal spine on somite 2 and the position of spines 1-3 near the end of the telson are characters more of Callianassa than of Axiiis, but the great length of the rostrum, presence of epipods and exopod on leg 5 justify its position in this group.
