The dorsoventrally flattened condition of the segments of the right cheliped, in particular, the carpus and chela, as well as the presence of what appears to be grasping spinules on the propodus and dactyl of pereopod 4, are unique among the

. Regrettably, the single known specimen of this new species was found loose in the sample without any indication of housing or possible association with another organism. These morphological adaptations are intriguing, and any explanation of their function at present can only be speculative. The armature of the propodus and dactyl of pereopod 4, however, does suggest that this species may grasp onto some housing or perhaps a soft organism while alive in order to protect its pleon or camouflage the body. The virtually symmetrical uropods and telson might suggest a tubular

of housing or association. The semi-transparent cephalothorax and all appendages might represent an adaptation to adopt the color of a possible host or substrate.
