Both specimens in the collection are small, only reaching 

 a length of 38 or 39 mm. Unfortunately in both the first 

 peraeopods are damaged, but the other details are well within 

 the limits of variation shown by the descriptions which 

 Faxon and Alcock have respectively given. The specimen 

 more particularly examined has the small fifth peraeopod 

 not chelate, the sixth joint being only shortly produced over 

 the seventh, which is stated to be a male characteristic.
