. Similarities include the development of a tooth on the inner face of the posterior margin of the male gnathopod 2 propodus (better developed in Ledoyers figures) and a strong almost transverse palmar shelf, the presence of two small teeth on the posterodistal corner of epimeron 3, the unequal uropod 3 rami and the shape of the basis of pereopods 57. The only difference is the presence of long setae on coxae 12 of Ledoyers specimens and the precise allocation of this material must await further study.
