REMARKS
The only specimen examined (cl
3.58 mm
) has a rostral dentition of 3+5/3. There is no trace of any supraorbital ridge or tubercle, but a postorbital ridge is distinct. The second pereiopods are subequal and similar, the carpus with upper and lower distomedial teeth and the merus without a lateral distoventral tooth. The third ambulatory pereiopod has the dactyl relatively long and slender in comparison with the
type
specimen described by
Kemp (1922)
, about 0.3 times the propod length, opposed to
0.26 in
the
type
, and about 6.0 times longer than its proximal depth, instead of about 4.0 times in the
type
.
