Pseudorostrum nearly horizontal, antero - lateral angle well developed. 

 Medio-dorsal line of carapace with a depression some distance from the hind 

 margin, the carina continued on the pedigerous segments, but nowhere 

 prominent, the flanking lateral carinae a single pair, distinct only in its 

 middle portion, not continued on the 2"*^ pedigerous segment and barely 

 indicated on the 3 following segments. Peraeopod 1, 2^^^ joint a little shorter 

 than all the following combined, and 5*^' than 6^^ and 7*^ combined. Rami 

 of uropods two-thirds as long as peduncle, endopod with P* joint nearly 

 4 times as long as 2^^, 1^* with 5 spines on medial margin, 2'^*^ with 2 at 

 apex. Immature d with smoother carapace, the lateral carinae alone 

 distinct. L. 2'6 mm.
