Hepatic spine with nine long spinules at base. Lateral spines of abdomen longer, the last with four long posterior spinules. Antennal scale about 14 times as long as wide with long subapical spine. Pleopods long, with small endopods. Uropods about 13 times as long as wide: setose part 2-3 times as long as bare part. In both stages the setae are conspicuously feathered. Somite 6 with long setae on dorsal side. Colour as in Elaphocaris.
