Last leg very slender, with very long dactylus. Propodus of second and third legs distally ex- panded. Description of female.—Carapace thin and yielding, naked, smooth and shining, transversely oblong, a little wider posteriorly than an- teriorly, dorsal surface flat, borders smoothly rounded; a short me- dian sulcus on front, a slight U-shaped one from orbits to middle of carapace. Front arcuate as seen from above, scarcely protuberant; eyes small, partly visible in dorsal view. The second joint of the palp of the outer maxilliped is short and broad, the terminal joint is minute and has not hitherto been dis- covered.
