- Posterolateral corners of the last thoracic segment rounded.
- Rostrum composed of a small bifid basal to which robust, long spines attached.

- Mx2 with 5 bud-like and 3 vermiform filaments on the segments of the endopod; one of the bud-like filament is much larger than the rest.
- P1 with the 1st and 2nd exopodal segments have each a slender outer edge spine, 3rd exopodal segment with 2 groups of minute spines on the posterior surface.
- P2 with a moderately long and curved outer edge spine on the 1st exopodal segment , 2nd and 3rd exopodal segments lost.
