[p.1633, Fig.5] Female (from Arguni Bay, Kaimana, W Papua): a, habitus (dorsal); b, pedigerous somite 5 and urosome (lateral); c, same (ventral); d, A1; e, rostrum (frontal view); f, P5 (L = left leg; R = right leg). Nota: - Cephalosome and pedigerous somite 1 separated, 4th and 5th pedigerous somites separated. - Cephalon with a pair of lateral hooks. - Cephalon with pair of small lenses located anteriorly. - rostrum without lens, basal portion extended ventrally roughly to level of ventral rye and divided distally into 2 short spiniform processes - Urosome with 2 somites. - Genital double-somite much larger than anal somite, asymmetrical, right side more convex than left side, directed dorsocaudally and tapering into blunt tip reaching as far as 1/4 length of right caudal ramus. Genital operculum withot any processes. - Anal somite wider than long, asymmetrical, right side longer than left. - Caudal rami very asymmetrical, right ramus being longer and broader, inner margin of each ramus fringede with fine hairs; each ramus with 5 long plumose and 1 small setae. - A1 22-segmented, symmetrical; posterior margin of segments 2-13 fringed with fine hairs.
