Rostrum i-o mm. Rostrum very much longer than antennule, without lateral spines, but with two long and five short ventral spines. Supraorbital process slender, with numerous spines (12-19). Lateral process slender, with 12-14 spines. Posterior process reaching to end of body; with four pairs of spines. Abdominal somites with very small pleural points. Telson branches almost at right angles to body-axis; spine 5 shorter than spine 4. Eye very large, as in stage 2. Colour. In stage i the body is colourless except for a trace of vermilion in gastric region and in eye, and a patch of brownish orange in base of anterior horns. In stages 2
