Pereopod 5 longer than pereopod 4 basis. Telson long, more than 2/3 length of uropod peduncles. Uropod endopod of 2 articles. Uropod exopod article 1 less than 0.5 article 2 length.

Remarks
. The maxillule palp with a single seta is only found in two other lampropid genera,
Stenotyphlops
and
Farragolamprops
, in both of which the uropod endopod is three articles. The two species of
Watlingia
are quite similar.
