. Carapace very wide posteriorly, inflated medially; dorsal surface strongly granulous, anterior half gently convex. Pseudorostral spines divergent. Supraocular eave wide; intercalated spine narrow, distally blunt, almost totally closing gap between antorbital and postorbital spines; postorbital spine long, foliaceous, divided distally into 2 spines, proximal angle with distinct tooth. Basal antennal article surface almost flat, outer margin distinctly convex. Third maxilliped with junction of merus and ischium gently swollen; ischium with distinctly Y-shaped median furrow, anteroexternal angle forming large tooth with rounded tip. Ambulatory legs, especially meri, with smooth dorsal margin. Male thoracic sternites with lateral surfaces shallowly but distinctly excavated. Male telson subpentagonal. G1 slender, distal one-third curving outwards; distal part relatively long, gently sinuous.
