Nota Male: - Ratio Prosome : Urosome = 1.48-1.61 : 1. - Cephalosome (fig.17) protruded laterally into a flap extending beyond posterior border of thoracic segment 1; porezs signature of flap as in fig.18 (in 3 specimens). - Caudal ramishorter than anal somite and 1.3-1.5 times longer than wide. - Md with 5 setae on endopod; spines of basis more similar in length than those in female. - Exopod of P1 with 3 spines not 2 as in female (fig.21). - All setae of P1-P4 plumose.
