Oral papilla relatively well developed, protuberant, represented by cylindrical structure located 0.14 of way back along ventral surface of cephalothorax. Ocelli present, well developed , lightly pigmented, rounded in dorsal view. Pigment cups separated by a distance equal to 1.5 times the eye diameter. Forehead re flat in dorsal view, sensillae not seen, with patch of blister-like processes on dorsal surface. A1 5-segmented, clearly separated segments, relatively long, representing close to 78 % of the cephalothorax length; length ratio of antennular segments 13.7:18.8:12.7:30.9:23.9 = 100; distal segment with a bifid element (arrowed in figs.18,19), probably representing a fusion of two elements. P5 nearly cylindrical appendage (arrowed in fig.16), naked bud-like. Succeeding somite with ventral protuberance, which is the base of a long genital apparatus, nearly cylindrical but having 2 divergent terminal lobes; a low, rounded process present between bases of lobes (arrowed in fig.16). Urosome consisting of 5 somites (5th pedigerous somite, genital complex somite, and 3 free abdominal somites (postgenital, preanal, anal somites); representing about 19 % of total body length.
