Barnard, 1932: 255 {Lanceola); Vinogradov, 1964: 1 14. 



The only known sexually mature specimen (male) is 40 mm long.

the pereon has a dorsal keel.

 inner lobes of the maxillipeds are more than half the length of the broad 

 outer lobes. 



The 5th segment of pereopods I is almost not broadened distally, 

 its maximum width 2/3 its length; the 6th segment is narrowly conical, 

 slightly shorter than the 5th; the claw is very small and straight. All the
