This collection consists of one large and two smaller specimens about half the size of the larger specimen. Although having fewer spines, they are presumed to be sub-adults of this species. The ocular tubercles of the smaller specimens terminate in an apical cone which was not present in the larger form. The larger specimen is of the same size as the

, fig. 4A) clearly figures a 10-segmented palp; however his description overlooks the small 1st segment. His reference to the 2nd palp segment being longest should in fact be the 3rd segment; the 4th segment should be the 5th and so on. Spines on all longer segments are straight and often longer than the corresponding segment. Child describes the three distal segments as being progressively shorter but in this specimen the 10th segment is 1.2 times longer than the 9th, otherwise all segments agree with the
