, with scutellar and post-scutellar ridges. Dorsum smooth. Cuticular structures characterized by circular cavities and sharp scale-setae. Pleotelson triangular with rounded tip. Male pereopod 7 strongly differentiated on ischium, merus and carpus. First male pleopod with endopod straight, three times as long as the exopod, not narrowed, slightly bent apically; pleopod 1–2 exopod notched on outer margin of tracheal field, both in males and females.
