Female (from Kurile-Kamchatka): A-B, habitus (lateral and dorsal, respectively); I, P1.
Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota:
- Prosome 3.2-3.4 times as long as urosome.
- Rostrum absent.
- Cephalosome and pediger 1 incompletely separate, pedigers 4 and 5 completely separate.
- Posterior corners of prosome in dorsal view oval, in lateral view rounded.
- Urosome 4-segmented.
- A1 24-segmented, reaching posterior border of genital double-somite.
- P1: coxa with medial spinules; basis with medial spinules, small lateral spinule distally and medial distal curved seta with setules; endopod 1-segmented with lateral lobe, its lateral margin with spinules, posterior segment surface with few tiny spinules; exopod segment 1 to 3 with 1 long lateral spine each, spine of exopod segments reaching nearly to the distal third of the following spine, spine of exopod segment 2 reaching the first third of the following spine.
- P5 absent.

This species is more closely related to the species Prolutamator hadalis, and differs by a small distal knob that is absent from the prosome posterior lobe (vs knob is present in P. hadalis).
