 as carpus. Two posterior pairs of pereiopods rather elongated, 

 with basal joint of moderate size. 



Anterior coxal plates more than twice as deep as respective

 duced below the posterior emargination to a narrow lobe, obtuse 

 at the tip; fifth pair nearly as deep as broad. 



Third abdominal segment with postero-lateral angles drawn
