Female (73°24'N, 153°33'W): 1-2, habitus (dorsal, lateral, respectively); 3, A2; 4, rostrum (lateral, left side); 5, same (frontal view); 6-7, genital doublesomite (ventral and lateral, left side, respectively); 8, Md (masticatory edge); 9-10, mandibular blade; 11, Mx1; 12, Mx2; 13, Mxp.
Scale bars: 0.1 mm.
Nota: Absence of rostral filaments.
A1 24-segmented, slightly longer than prosome;
A2: coxa and basis lacking setae.
Md: gnathobase elongate, narrow; cutting edge narrow with deep incision; exopod 5-segmented, with setal formula 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.
mx1: praecoxal endite with 9 terminal and 2 posterior setae; coxal endite with 2 setae, coxal epipodite with 6 setae; proximal basal endite with 2 setae (one longer and thicker than other); distal basal endite fused to endopod with 9 setae (2 of them longer and thicker); exopod with 2 setae.
Mx2: proximal praecoxal endite with 4 setae, distal with 3 setae; proximal and distal coxal endites with 3 and 2 setae; proximal basal endite with 3 setae of different appearance (first worm-like, second thicker than others and heavily setulae, third of typical shape); distal basal endite plus endopod with 1 sclerotized seta and 8 sensory setae (4 worm-like and 5 brush-like, very zmall and difficult to see).
Mxp: Endopod 6-segmented with setal formula 2, 4, 3, 2, 2+1, 4; 1st segment of endopod clearly separated from basis.

Terminal extension exceeding 2/3 of medial spine. Surfaces of all segments naked.
