Protopod with longitudinal groove on anterior face. - Ovigerous spines arising from conical projection of ventral surface of anterior half of genital compound segment (fig.2B, C). Crescent-shaped slit leading to copulatory opening at posterior base of cone (arrow fig.2D); slit flanked by pair of small knobs projecting from cone. Tips of ovigerous spines found at any point between P2 and midlength of cephalothorax; spines cylindrical, smooth, but slightly thickened and wrinkled at two-thirds length, tips naked and tapered.

Each ramus with ventral distal pore and 6 setae (at least 5 of them plumose), 1 arising ventrolaterally and the other 5 apically; most dorsal apical seta (seta VII of Huys & Boxshall, 1991) shorter than others, appearing smooth in some individuals but setulose in 2 specimens (perhaps setules orientated dorso-ventrally).

Female: A, protopods of legs 3 and 4, outer view (anterior to left); B, endopod of a swimming leg, inner view showing site of absent seta on 1st segment (arrow); C, outer apical seta (large arrow) on 3rd exopodal segment of P1 and pore (small arrow) on 3rd endopodal segment of P2 (anterior view); D, telson (t) and caudal rami (c),, ventral view), showing anal anal opening (large arrow), and ventral pores and condylar articulation (small arrow) of rami. Scale bars = 0.050 mm (A); 0.020 mm in B, D: 0.010 mm in C. Nota: - P1-P4: Pore just in front of lateral seta on basis; this seta short and hair-like in P1, P2 and P4, but much longer and plumose in P3 (fig.4D, plumosity omitted). Distal pore on anterior face of 3rd segment of each ramus (fig.6C). No inner seta on 1st exopodal or 1st endopodal segment (fig.6B).

Sparse spinules as well as 2 rows of long setules found on natatory setae (fig.6C): 1 inner seta on 2nd segment of each ramus; 2 inner setae on 3rd segment of each ramus in P1, but 3 inner setae on exopod in P2-P4; 1 outer seta on 3rd segment of endopod, and 2 apical setae on each ramus (fig.4B-D, F). Outer apical seta of exopod with outer row of widely spaced, talon-like denticles instead setules (fig.4E,6C)

Clearly 4-segmented, but proximal region of 1st segment consisting of complexly folded arthropodial membrane and sclerites for muscle attachment; reticular ridges becoming lower and simpler distally. All seta elements identified by Grygier & Ohtsuka (1995) (figs.3A, 4A). Spiniform 2v-setae and 3-seta much longer than 4-setae; row of spinules present on at least 2v-seta, possibly on other spiniform spiniform setae. Outer distal b1-3 setae each branched at least twice in asymmetrically dichotomous manner; b5 seta bifid. Apical 6-setae similar to each other in size. - P1-P4: suture separating coxa and basis extending diagonally across posterior face and continuing around onto outer part of anterior face (fig.4B-D, F). Sharp, distally pointing denticles on outer faces of coxa and exopod (figs.5C, 6A), as large as denticles on posterior margin of genital, compound somite. - P5 rod-like, distally slightly clavate, with 2 apical setae (figs.4G, 2B).
