Endopodites P1 to P4 are 2-segmented, in contrast to 3-segmented exopodites.
- P5 nearly symmetrical; exopodites furnished with 2 outer marginal spines; the apex terminates in 3 subequal spines, the apex of the endopodite is not bifurcated.

Male:
- Urosome 5-segmented; 4th and 5th urosomal segments much shorter than the others.
- Right A1 geniculate, segments 18 and 19-21 with dorsal denticulated plates.
- Short, curved thumb-like process on the proximal outer margin of the 1st segment of the right exopodite of P5; inner margin of hand with a small median spine; palm simple; the claw-like segment long and narrow; apical segment of the left exopodite elongate and ovate, twice as long as broad; outer margin furnished with 1 spine, and the apex bears 3 spines; inner margin with a pad of fine hairs
