| | | | | | | Ref.: | | | C.B. Wilson, 1950 (p.311, figs.F,M); Silas & Pillai, 1973 (1976) (p.778); Pillai, 1977 (1982) (p.65, Rem.) |  issued from : C.B. Wilson in Bull. U.S. natn Mus., 100, 14 (4), 1950. [Pl.33, Fugs.497, 499, 500]. Female (from off S. California): 497, habitus (dorsal); 499, urosome (lateral right side); 500, P5. Nota: Head broadly rounded in front, with a slight median projection over the base of the rostrum. 4th and 5th metasomal segments fused, with triangular spines at the posterior corners pointed diagonally outward and backward and reaching the diasatl margin of the genital segment. Urosome 3-segmented, one-third as long as the metasome. There is a ventral protuberance at the center of the genital segment tipped with a short process. caudal rami nearly as wide as long, the left one larger that the right and each with 5 setae, the outer one at the center of the outer surface. Exopod of A2 much shorter than the endopod. P5 is almost exact replicas of that of P. bitumida.
