The carapace is more oval and less elevated than in 

 Cardiosoina. The front is of moderate length, straight, 

 and very sloping ; the antennulary fossae are round, and 

 separated from the front by a small triangular prolon- 

 gation. 



The orbits are small, and their inferior border is much 

 more prominent than in Cardiosoina, and has between 

 its internal angle and the external antenna a wide and 

 deep notch. The buccal cavity is not so clearly defined 

 as usual, and is more circular than square. 



The external maxillipedes have between them a large 

 space ; their fourth joint, much less large than the third, 

 is almost quadrilateral, slightly or not at all contracted 

 behind, and deeply notched on its anterior border, in the 

 middle of which is inserted the fifth joint, which is 

 exposed.
