Antennula seven-segmented. Antenna seven-segmented; third endopodial segment very small. Paragnaths with distal strong claws. Mandibular palp without sexual dimorphisms. Setae of mandibular palp similar in both sexes. Endopod of thoracopods I to VII four-segmented. Male thoracopod VIII compact and trapezoidal with only one small lobe (outer lobe) on penial region (latero external part) and two small projections (frontal and posterior); large rectangular basipod in vertical position with small distal crest; endopod small with one short seta; exopod perpendicular to principal axis of basipod, bearing two distal setae of similar length. Female thoracopod VIII simplified: coxopod without setae; long epipod; basipod slightly longer than coxopod bearing one seta; two-segmented ramus as long as basipod, with two distal setae: one short and one long. Uropod: sympod with four strong and big subequal spines, endopod with two spines, one “special” seta and three more setae. Furcal rami with five spines.
