the 5th segment bears one spine on the posterior margin and three spines 

 on the posterior distal angle; the 6th segment is three times longer than 

 wide its anterior margin is armed with one spine in females and one-two 

 spines in males. The 6th segment of pereopods II is similarly armed. 

 Pereopods VI are somewhat longer than pereopods V and VII. The 2nd 

 segment of pereopods V is slightly broader than in pereopods VI or VII; 

 its anterior margin in pereopods V is convex without ornamentation, in 

 pereopods VI and VII is almost straight and with one spine in females 

 but two spines in males. The telson is somewhat shorter than its width at 

 the base, its length somewhat more than half the length of the basipodite 

 of uropods III.
