Scale bars: A = 100 µm; D: 10 µm; B, C, E-I: 20 µm.
Nota:
- Cephalosome and 1st pedigeous somite separate, 4th and 5th fused.
- Prosome with posterolateral corners rounded, moderately produced, symmetrical.
- Rostrum weakly developed, represented by small medial expansion, rostral points absent.
- Urosome 4-segmented, representing 31% of total body length.
- Genital double-somite relatively long, almost 40% of urosome, barrel-shaped, weakly expanded mid-ventrally symmetrical. Single gonopore opening ventrally at proximal 1/3 of somite; adjacent ventral surface of somite ornamented with 4 slender spiniform elements inserted at each side of simple, transverse genital operculum.
- Anal somite shortest of urosome , subrectangular, about 10% of urosome length, cuticular ornamentation absent on dorsal and ventral surfaces.
- A1 24-segmented, reaching posterior margin of preanal somite. One of the setal elemnts on segment 12 spiniform. Distal segment with apical acute process present in some specimens (fig.1, D).
- A2 biramous, exopod longer than endopod. Endopod 2-segmented, distal portion of terminal segment with 2 lobes, proximal lobe with 8 setae, distal lobe with single short, lateral seta plus 5 long terminal setae. Exopod indistinctly 7-segmented.
- Md with gnathobase armed with 4 large monocuspid ventral teeth plus 3 smaller bicuspid teeth, dorsal monocuspid tooth, and short dorsal seta. Serial teeth distinctly separated from large ventralmost tooth by diastema. Palp biramous, basis robust, armed with 4 subequal setae inserted on medial margin. Endopod short, 2-segmented; proximal segment with 2 short and 1 long setae, outer margin protuberant; distal segment subrectangular, with 10 setae, 1 reduced. Exopod indistinctly 5-segmented, armed with 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 setae.
- Mx1 with praecoxal arthrite bearing 9 spiniform marginl setae. Coxal epipodite with 9 setae, coxal endite with 2 setae. Basis with proximal endite bearing 4 setae, distal basal endite armed with 5 setae. Endopod reduced, not articulated to basis, indistinctly 3-segmented, proximal segment with 4 setae, 2nd segment with 2 setae, distal segment with 6 setae. Exopod oblong, with 10 subequal setae.
- Mx2 indistinctly 6-segmented including precoxa, coxa, allobasis and 3-segmented endopod. Free endopodal segments armed with 1, 1, 3 setae.
- Mxp indistinctly 9-segmented, precoxa and coxa partially fused, precoxa unarmed, with cluster of spinules. Endopod 6-segmented, armed with 2, 4, 4, 2, 2, 4 setae.
