P5: inner lobe or right basis arising from middle of anteromedial margin of segment, longer than segment, characteristically sigmoid, with a row of stiff setules proximally in addition to a band of setules along its whole medial margin (Fig.85-g). Left basis (Fig.85-h) with smoothly curved medial margin, its distal 2/3 fringed with setules. Left endopod longer than right, each with inner marginal seta on 2nd segment. Medial projection of 2nd segment triangular, its proximal margin set off some distance from proximal end of segment and furnished with setules and its distal margin arising from middle of segment. Outer spine of 2nd segment about at middle of segment. 3rd segment including terminal lobe about 1.7 times length of 2nd, smoothly curved, with outer spine, which is moved mediad by the rotation of exopod, about 1/4 length of segment from proximal end.
