Urosome about 3/10 length of body.
Anal somite about as long as 3rd urosomal somite. Combined lengths of anal somite and left caudal ramus about as long as genital somite.
Dorsal appendicular setae of caudal rami similar in length.
A1 reaching about posterior end of caudal ramus; Four lobes of 1st segment with 1+2+2+2 setae and 0+1+1+2 aesthetes; 2nd to 19th segments each with 2 setae (1 middle and 1 dista), number of aesthetes seems variable to a certain extent.
A2 basipod a little shorter than 1st endopodal segment. Measured along lateral marginns, 2nd endopodal segment a little longer than 1/2 length of 1st, without posterior appendicular setae on either inner or outer lobe. Exopod slender, much shorter than endopod, with inner marginal seta on last segment reduced to a vestige.
Md: 1st tooth from basal spine very small, 2nd and 3rd similar size and shape, tricuspid, and about as long as basal spine. 4th tooth present only on right side (Fig.34-k), is low and more or less triangular. Ventralmost tooth sicklelike, only a little longer than 3rd tooth, initilly diverging somewhat from and then curved toward dorsal teeth. Mandfibular palp about 7/10 length of mandibular blade, with exopod far short of reaching distal end of endopod.
