bathypelagic.For Grice & Hulsemann (1965, p.227) this new genus appears to be related to Farrania Sars, 1920, from which it differs by the segmentations of the swimming legs (especially the single segmented exopod and endopod of the first pair of legs and the presence of 2 external spines on the 3rd exopodal segments of the P2 and P3.
