After Tanaka (1960, p.72) the specimes from the South Africa had the proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body female as 72 to 28. The anterior region is slender, about 2.5 times as long as broad. The dorsal lenses are set closely together. The posterior region of the body has the segments and caudal rami in the proportional lengths : 14 : 21 : 10 : 9 : 11 : 35 = 100. The distal border of the 2nd to 4th abdominal segments is finely serrated on the posterior surface. The caudal rami 2 times as long as broad (33 : 17); the median dorsal seta is situated at the distal 1/3 of the ramus. The A1 5-segmented; segments in the proportional lengths 18 : 42 : 17 : 10 : 13 = 100. In the P2 the endopod is about as long as the exopod; the 3rd segment of the endopod carries 3 apical. In P4 the endopod is slightly shorter than the exopod. spines
According to Chae & Nishida (1994, p.205, table 2) the color observed with reflected (R) and transmitted light (T): Monotonic dark blue (R) and yellow, occasionally brown (T).
