Species Lucicutia longispina - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : O. Tanaka in Publs Seto Mar. Biol. Lab., 1963, XI (1). [p.31, Fig.162].
Female: a, habitus (dorsal); b, last thoracic segment and urosome (left lateral side); c, P1 (basal part and exopod segments 1-2; d, 2nd basal segment of P1; e, exopod of P2; f, P4.

Nota: The urosome segments and furca in the proportional lengths as 28:10:8:11:43 = 100. The rostral process not visible from the dorsal view. The furcal rami symmetrical.

Species Lucicutia longispina - Plate 4 of morphological figuresLucicutia longispina female: 1 - Characters following not combined : Prosome about 3 times longer than urosome. Cephalosome with slightly projecting and rounded anterior corners and well developed lateral spinous projections; anal somite about as long as wide; caudal rami 11.7 times longer than wide and bowed outwards at base, leaving elliptical space between rami proximally.
2 - P1 with 3-segmented endopod.
3 - Cephalosome without spinous projections.
4 - Genital double-somite symmetrical (dorsal view).
5 - Anal somite much shorter than caudal ramus.
6 - P5 with 3-segmented endopod.
7 - Distal 3 to 4 segments of A1 reaching beyond tip of caudal ramus; body length less than 3 mm.
8 - Prosome more than twice as long as urosome.
9 - Caudal rami 7 times longer than wide.
