Diagnosis.
Anterolateral corners of pereonites 2–6 with apophysis. Antennule inner flagellum multiarticulate. Antenna flagellum with more than five articles. Mandibular palp first article with more than five setae. Pereopod 1 with exopodite. Male cheliped fixed finger cutting edge with proximal tooth approximately twice as long as broad.

Geographic distribution.
Known from the

locality only (Fig. 1, number 5).
Remarks.
The material
Lang (1956a)
examined (
one adult
male) is apparently lost. It is supposed to be housed at the Universitets Zoologisk Museum in Copenhagen, but staff informed me they do not have it. Fortunately, the original description is detailed and adequately illustrated.
This species can easily be distinguished from its congeners by several characters including 1) anterolateral apophyses on pereonites 2–6, 2) a multiarticulate antennule inner flagellum, 3) an exopodite on pereopod 1, and 4) the dactylus of pereopods 4 and 5 being shorter than the propodus.
