Carapace without lateral cornua ; first pedigerous segment inconspicuous, 

 the second long. Only the first pair of the peraeopods carrying exopods in 

 either sex; second peraeopods with the third joint indistinct. Endopod 

 of uropods simple or two-jointed with second joint always the shorter. 

 Hepatopancreatic glands with one pair of distally bifurcated lobes. 



11 species accepted, 3 doubtful.

Pseudorostrum very short, obtuse, with a little antero-lateral tooth. The 

 raedio-dorsal line of the carapace depressed near the middle in the d, in 

 both sexes flanked by 2 pairs of longitudinal carinae, the upper nearly straight 

 and at least sometimes reaching the hind margin, the lower curved and 

 distally joining the upper one. Only a median carina on the pedigerous 

 segments, of which the 2^'^ (1^* free) is much the largest and in the d raised 

 much above the rest. Pleon segments with median carina in the d, in 

 wliich the S*'^ segment is distally constricted. Eye prominent. Antenna 

 1 with much curved 1^* joint. Maxilliped 3 with distal process of 2"^ joint 

 apically truncate. Peraeopod 1 with 5^'' joint not quite so long as 6*'' and 

 7th combined. Peraeopod 2 having the slender curved 2^'^ joint armed on the 

 concave margin with some 6 retroverted teeth. Uropods with rami in d less,
