Proportional lengths of urosomites and furca as 14:15:12:9:13:70. Caudal rami symmetrical. Right A1 16-segmented (segments 1-5, 9-10, 19-21 and 22-25 fused), segments 17, 18 and 19-21 all armed with rows of needle-like teeth.

 issued from : Fazal-Ur-Rehman in Crustaceana, 1973, 25 (2). [p.115, Figs.13-27]. Female (from off Karachi): 13, habitus (dorsal); 14, A1; 15, A2; 16-17, Md (mandibular blade); 18, Mx1; 19, Mx2; 20, Mxp; 21-24, P1 to P4; 25, P5; 26-27, Md (another specimen from Patany Bay, Siam). Nota: Caudal rami with distinct asymety, left ramus slightly narrower and smaller than the right. The specimens agree with the morphological characters described by Giesbrecht (1892), but differ in the following aspects. Denticles on the inner side of the left P5 are absent, as in Scott (1909) for a specimen collected by the Siboga Expedition; the marginal spines on the outer side of the right P5 are present in some cases, absent in others; specimens collected from Patany Bay, Siam, in 1909, revealed marked resemblances in the structure of P5, however, Md of the Siam's specimen differed in having 6 cutting teeth, as compared to 5 in the Karachi's specimen, which corresponds to the original figure and description by Giesbrecht (1892, Pl. 31, fig.5).

For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 1350.
After Mulyadi (2004, p.167) the species was first established upon female from the Formosa Strait as Corynura forcipata. For a long time T. forcipatus was confused with T. gracilis, but later on Scott (1909) distinguished between the female of both species, on the basis of the form of P5. The male of this species was first reported by Sewell (1914), but he's account was devoid of any structural details of the P5.
