The head is not rostrate, a little longer than the first two pereional segments. The eyes are 

 middle-sized. The flagellum of the first pair of 'antennae is anteriorly truncated, a little longer 

 than the head. The pereiopoda of the fifth and sixth pairs are very elongated, more than 

 twice longer than the third and fourth pairs. The tibiae of the third and fourth pairs 

 are not tumid. The femora of the fifth and sixth pairs are broad, ovate; the metacarpi 

 are almost as long as the two preceding joints together. The dactylus of the seventh pair 

 is as long as the metacarpus. The second and third ural segments are free, not coalesced. 

 The hinder corners of the last ural segment are not produced. The peduncles of the 

 uropoda are longer than the rami. The telson is lanceolate, as long as half the peduncle 

 of the last pair of uropoda.

From the description of Spence Bate I give the following details: 



The eyes are long-ovate. 



The first pair of antennae are stout, the second and third joints of the flagellum are 

 smaller than the first, The flagellum is flattened, the upper margin thick, fringed with
