Female (Fly River delta, Papua New Guinea: a-b, habitus (dorsa and lateral, respectivelyl); c-d, urosome (ventral and lateral, respectively); e, right A1. Nota: Forehead sharply pointed in dorsal view), in lateral view apex dorsal, tapering away ventrally into strong rostrum. 5th thoracic segment drawn posteriorly into sharp recurved points. Genital complex with 2 postero-lateral spines, extending posteriorly as far as anterior margin of urosome segment 3; urosome segment 2 with 2 small lappet-like processes on ventral surface, one on either side of mid-line; urosome segment 3 with large asymmetrical process on ventro-posterior surface, biased toward right-hand side, bearing 2 strong spines, one directed posteriorly, the other postero-laterally, toward right hand side. Caudal rami slightly asymmetrical. A1 symmetrical, 22-segmented, with large pointed posteriorly directed process on postero-lateral margin of segment 1, segment 10 with a robust thorn on the outer distal margin. A2 comprises coxa with 1 seta, basis with 2 setae, endopod 2-segmented, exopod 7-segmented. Md palp comprises coxa with 4 setae, exopod 4-segmented and endopod 2-segmented.
