The specimen was found in the samples trawled up from station 33, but the exact capture depth is not known. The specimen is different from usual megalopae in having remarkably long frontal, dorsal and lateral carapace spines (

). The frontal spines are horizontal and parallel throughout their length, tapering distally; each lateral spine is directed posterolaterally and weakly downwards, and slightly longer than the frontal spines, tapering very weakly towards the tips; the dorsal spine is nearly erect or only weakly inclined posteriorly, and slightly shorter than the lateral spines. The carapace is otherwise armed with a pair of the short protogastric spines weakly directed outwards.

recognized 14 genera mostly from Indo-West Pacific waters, the species of which are, in general, rather restricted biogeographically.
