A,B) smooth. Rostrum very short and strongly upward directed, compressed, not reaching half-length of basal segment of antennular peduncle; dorsal margin deeply concave anteriorly, with large subrectangular posterior tooth situated anterior to posterior orbital margin, and with widely oblique lateral margins overhanging orbits; pair of shallow depressions present anteriorly on sides of dorsal tooth; ventral margin of rostrum almost vertical, convex. Orbital margins sharply defined dorsally and ventrolaterally, but posteriorly interrupted; ventral margin continuing anteriorly to slightly upward directed antennal spine; shallow post-orbital furrow running slightly obliquely up; inferior orbital angle obsolete, situated medially to antennal spine. Supraorbital, epigastric and hepatic spines absent. Anterolateral angle of carapace produced anteromedially as elongate rounded lobe extending forwards beneath antennal peduncles to meet corresponding opposite lobe in midline enclosing thus all mouthparts. Ventral branchiostegite broadly rounded, with margin laminose, soft.
