A, 2C) Head anteriolateral corner projecting over eyestalk base. Labrum smooth. First antenna approximately equal in length to second antenna proximal antennomere. Second antenna capable of extending back to thoracopod IV or V. Second antennal proximal antennomere transversely broad, expanding distally in proximal fourth, apex truncate, with breadth three times thickness. Proximal antennomere with a posteriomedial, subcylindrical apophysis, directed posteriomedially, with apical third expanded, apex rounded and covered in sharp denticles. Proximal antennomere with an anteriomedial antennal appendage. Antennal appendage approximately one third the length of proximal antennomere, simple in form, with a single lamella, lacking lobes or spines.
