The maxillipeds are the same as in S. latifrons but their inner lobes are 

 slightly shorter. 



Pereopods I are notably stronger than pereopods II; the 6th segment 

 is shorter than the 5th; the claw is 1/2 the length of the 6th segment, 

 thin, and straight. In pereopods II the 6th segment is longer than the 

 5 th and the thin straight claw about 1/2 the length of the 6th segment. 

 Pereopods III and IV are identical in proportions; the 4th segment is 

 slightly shorter than the 5th or the 6th, which are mutually equal, but the 

 6th segment is markedly thinner than the 5th; the curved claw constitutes 

 1/3-1/2 the length of the 6th segment. In pereopods V the 2nd segment 

 is broad and armed on both sides with long, slightly curved denticles^ 

 that are sometimes larger and sparser on the anterior margin; its distal 

 process, with denticles on the anterior margin, almost reaches the distal 

 margin of the 3rd segment; the 4th segment is shorter, equal to or slightly 



' The denticles on both margins could be longer than shown in the illustration.
