Peduncle of antenna not distinct, but showing trace of segmentation under skin. Maxillipede i a small papilla. Maxillipede 2 with small bud representing exopod, without setae. Leg 5 rather large, unsegmented. Abdomen unsegmented ventrally, but showing segmentation dorsally. Pleopods present as small rounded lobes; uropods bilobed, variable in size. Stage VIII ? (Fig. 20). Length 14-20 mm. Peduncle of antenna distinctly segmented. Maxillipede i a simple papilla. Maxillipede 2 with exopod distinct, with or without setae. Setae when present six in number. Leg 5 with basal segment marked off. Small spines present on body at base of legs 2, 3, 4. Abdomen segmented ventrally. Pleopods bilobed.
