Epipods, with rudiments of podobranchs, and a pair of very large arthrobranchs on legs 1-4. Pleopods on somites 2-5 with rudiment of appendix interna. Though much less common than the preceding species, the distribution is about the same, extending in the Atlantic to 14° N and to the equator off east Africa. The large epipods, with rudiments of podobranchs, point definitely to an Axiid genus. The extreme elongation of the arthrobranchs is a unique feature.
