. These similarities include the appearance of mouthparts, pereopods, and pleopods, especially a round distal apex of male pleopod 1 with three pairs of apical setae, the presence of denticles on the pleotelsonic lateral margins, and a female operculum with a terminal pair of setae. However, the present species also have distinct differences, such as a pleotelson with 2 lateral margin denticles on each side, a feature not found in the latter species.
, which has the distally concave pleopod 1, with 4 short apical setae (vs. distally rounded, with 3 short setae in the present species), and the shorter endopodal stylet of pleopod 2, which does not reach beyond the apex of the ramus.
