Hind body depressed and broad. Sixth abdominal somite 

 separated from telson by flexible joint. Lateral edges of ab- 

 dominal somites not greatly expanded, about one-fourth width 

 of median portion. Ophthalmic segment not greatly elongated. 

 Telson usually longer than wide, with six marginal spines and 

 usually more than four intermediate denticles. Inner basal spine 

 of uropod longer of the two. Dactylus of raptorial claw usually 

 not, or very slightly, dilated at base, with six or less teeth, and 

 manus with minute pectinations on inner edge. 



This is the largest and most diverse of all the stomatopod 

 genera, and including many species, is widely distributed.
