Total body length from 302 to 365 Mm, with mean of 324 Mm based on five individuals. Habitus similar to male. No sexual dimorphism in body shape, morphology and ornamentation of cephalothorax, and caudal rami. Integumental windows located dorsally on the cephalic shield, on the anterior surface of the genital double-somite, and the second and third abdominal somites. Cephalic appendages identical in both sexes, excluding antennules. Urosome 5- segmented. Female genital and first abdominal somites completely fused forming genital doublesomite. Genital field located in anterior half of genital double-somite (
