1 - Left caudal ramus distinctly longer than right and completely fused with anal segment.
2 - Basis of right P5 with conical inner lobe (Fig.49-e).
3 - P5 with relatively slender exopods (Fig.51-f); medial projection of 2nd exopodal segment of right P5 without a lobe on distal side.

Rem.: This species is named in honour of Professor Paul L. Illg, specialist in parasitic copepods, well known at Laboratore Arago (Banyuls-sur-Mer, France).
After Park (2000, p.80) the species can be distinguished from the congeners by the relatively short ventralmost of the left Md; the 3rd lobe of Mx2 with a seta and spine of similar length, the 4th lobe with 2 spines of greatly different length, spines of the 5th and 6th lobes with long unserrated distal sections; the coxa of Mxp with a relatively long 1st posterior distal seta, and the basis with a proximal medial margin fringed with setules. The female is very characteristic, having a small and narrow genital operculum and the male having an elongate and slightly curved medial projection on the 2nd segment of the right exopod
