Selected characters and their states are indicated (e.g for example arrowhead 66:1).
Nota : A2 Coxa and basis separate ; endopod 2-segmented with traces of fusion between segments 2 and 3, and between segments 3 and 4 ; segment 1 with 2 inner setae ; segment 2 with 9 plus 7 terminal setae and outer transverse rox of spinules marking boundary between putative endopodal segments 3 and 4. Exopod shorter than endopod, 8-segmented, ancestral segments VIII and IX fused, segments I-VII each with 1 well developed seta, compound distal segment VIII-IX with 3 terminal setae and 1 inner subterminal seta, outermost seta on terminal endopodal segment lined proximally with small spinules.
Md : Gnathobase with 7 marginal teeth, ventralmost largest, 5 dorsal teeth bicuspid, small spinulated seta inserted dorsally.Basis with 4 apparently naked setae ; endopod 2-segmented segment 1 with inner lobe and 4 setae, segment 2 with 10 terminal setae, distoinner border with short row of spinules at about midlength. Exopod 5-segmented with setal formula 1, 1, 1, 1, 2.
Mx1 : Praecoxal arthrite with 14 spines and setae, including 4 on posterior surface and 1 on dorsal surface ; coxal endite with 4 setae ; basal endites 1 and 2 with 4 and 5 setae, respectively. Endopod segments 1 and 2 fused, segments 2 and 3 separate, with 4, 3, and 7 setae, respectively. Exopod with 11 setae, of which 3 terminal setae short and bordered by fine setules along inner border. Basal exite without seta. Coxal epoipodite with 9 setae, of which 3 proximal setae short.
Mxp : 1st syncoxal endite with 1 seta, endites 2 and 3 with 2 and 4 spinulose setae, respectively, crescent-shaped row of fine spinules at base of endite 3 on inner surface ; endite 4 with 3 setae and small peg-like structure, and a few small spinules. Basis with 2 setulose setae and proximal border lined by spinules. Endopod well-developed, longer than basis, endopodal segment 1 apparently separate from basis, endopodal segments 1-6 with 2, 4, 4, 3, 3 plus 1, and 4 spinulose setae, respectively, outer seta of segment 6 wider and longer than adjacent seta, and terminally inserted.
