, with cylindrical habitus and no distinct demarcation between prosome and urosome. Integument weakly chitinized and without cuticular windows; hyaline fringe of all somites smooth. First pedigerous somite incorporated into cephalothorax. Prosome only ornamented with sensilla, urosome additionally ornamented with short posterior ventral rows of small spinules. Genital somite free; genital field with single large copulatory pore, wide and short copulatory duct and two small semicircular seminal receptacles; single small genital aperture covered by fused reduced sixth legs. Anal operculum wide and convex, not reaching to posterior end of anal somite, ornamented with many minute spinules near posterior margin. Caudal rami conical, as long as greatest width and slightly divergent; dorsal seta inserted near posterior margin and very close to inner margin, about twice as long as ramus; proximal lateral seta arising somewhat dorsolaterally at middle; distal lateral seta arising close to posterior lateral margin; inner apical seta as long as ramus; principal apical setae with breaking plane. Antennula long and slender, eight-segmented in female and ten-segmented in male; with seta on first segment. Antenna composed of coxa, basis, two-segmented endopod and one-segmented exopod; exopod armed with two setae. Mandibula with narrow cutting edge and two-segmented palp; basis unarmed, endopod with five apical setae. Maxilla with single endite on syncoxa. Maxilliped three-segmented, prehensile. All swimming legs with threesegmented exopod. Endopod of first leg three-segmented; endopod of second and third swimming legs onesegmented, while that of fourth swimming leg reduced to a small knob. All exopodal segments of about same length; first exopodal segment of all legs, as well as second segment of first leg, without inner seta; second exopodal segment of second, third and fourth legs with inner seta; third exopodal segment of all legs with two outer spines and that of first, second and third legs without inner setae, but that of fourth leg with one inner seta. First endopodal segment of first leg large, almost reaching to posterior margin of second exopodal segment, armed with short spiniform inner seta; endopod of second and third legs slightly shorter than first exopodal segment, armed with inner apical plumose seta and much shorter outer apical spine. Basis of first leg in male probably with transformed inner spine; no other sexual dimorphism in swimming legs. Fifth leg similar in both sexes, with baseoendopod almost completely fused to somite and represented only by outer basal seta; exopod a minute but distinct segment, armed with two apical setae in female and with additional inner seta in male.
