Genital segment swollen laterally, about as long as wide.
Anal segment short.
Caudal rami 1.75 times as long as wide.
A1 24-segmented, extends to the distal margin of the genital segment.
In P2, the 1st and 2nd endopodal segments incompletely fused.
P5 3-segmented, 3rd segment with 4 spines of abiut equal lengths on the distal margin.

Loc:
off Mauritania (in Vives, 1982, p.292), off Bermuda: Station ‘’ S’’ (32°10’N, 64°30’W), Sargasso Sea, Azores, off W Ireland, off E Nova Scotia, off E Newfoundland, S Iceland, W Baffin Bay, Greenland (W & E), Spitzbergen, Arct. (Canadian abyssal plain, Laptev Sea, Lomonosov Ridge, Arct. (Fletcher's Ice Is., Nansen Basin, Amundsen Basin, Makarov Basin, Chukchi Sea, Canada Basin), Okhotsk Sea, Japan (Suruga Bay)

(4) F: 2,56; (22) F: 3; M: 2,4-2,5; (134) F: ± 3; M: ± 2,5; (377) F: 2,75; (866) M: 2,4-2,5; (881) F: 2,48-3; M: 2,24-2,5; {F: 2,48-3,00; M: 2,24-2,50}
Rem.: meso-bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 1000-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). For Markhaseva & al., 2008 (p.2438) in this species (the most primitive representative of the genus) the setation of Mxp was found to share some typical tharybid characteristics, and propose to retain Undinella in the family Tharybidae.
