A1 extends beyond end of caudal ramus with 4 segments. Urosomal segments and caudal rami in the proportional lengths 42 : 21 : 16 : 4 : 17 = 100. Caudal rami with length/width ratio 2 : 3. A2 exopod a little longer than endopod (7 : 6). Mx2 endopod with 7 brushform and 1 vermiform sensory filaments.

méso-bathypélagique. Park (1983 a, p.321) doute de l'identification de Grice. Cependant il n’est pas exceptionnel d'observer un tel mode de répartition correspondant à une période antérieure à la fermeture de l'isthme de Panama. Le mâle indiqué par Chihara & Murano (1997) est sans doute une erreur.
