In the left gnathopod the hand is much weaker and more setose,

with spines and setae. 
In 2 right and left 2nd gnaphopods equal in size, the hand being 
similar to that of the young ¢, elongate-oval, tapering distally, palm 
and hind margin subequal and continuous, without defining tooth, 
but witha submarginal spine, palm with 2 denticles near the hinge, 
both flanked by minute subsidiary denticles, some small denticles 
between first tooth and junction with hind margin, finger tapering, 
nearly reaching the defining spine.

All the peraeopods with a straight stout spine-seta on inner apex
