, 4.0 mm. Body elongated (about 3 times longer than wide) and colourless (Fig. 1A). Back with scattered long scalesetae (Fig. 1B); each pereionite with one nodulus lateralis per side (Fig. 1C), nodulus lateralis on pereionite 4 more distant from lateral margin than those on the other pereionites, b/c and d/c co-ordinates as in Fig. 1D; no visible gland pores. Cephalon (Fig. 1E,F) about 1.5 times wider than long, with very thin suprantennal line slightly bent downwards in the middle; eyes absent. Pleon narrower than pereion; pleonites without posterior points visible in dorsal view. Telson (Fig. 1G) about twice as wide as long, distal part with straight sides and very broadly rounded apex. Antennule (Fig. 1H) with third article equipped with 2 apical and 3–4 subapical long aesthetascs. Antenna (Fig. 1I) with fifth article of peduncle not swollen; first and third flagellar articles subequal in length, second distinctly shorter; second and third flagellar articles with a row of five and seven aesthetascs, respectively. Buccal pieces as in all the other species of the genus, i.e. mandible with molar penicil simple, maxillule with outer branch bearing 7 simple teeth and inner branch with two short and thickset penicils, maxilliped with endite equipped with a big apical penicil and a long seta on outer corner. Pereiopods with no dactylar seta and with ungual seta flagelliform. Uropod with protopod and exopod grooved on outer margin; insertion of endopod slightly proximal to that of exopod.
