Caput altum, eonieum. Perceon compressum, post auguste elongatum. Pedes perm priini et 

 secundi pariuin fere simplifies, sequentibus dissimiles et multo breviores. Metacarpus pedum 

 tertii ac quarti pariuin valde elongatus. Pedes quinti paris manu replicata instrueti. Pedes 

 uri secundi paris in mare reducti, in femina nulli; pedunculus pedum ultimi paris angustus. 

 Telson subterminale. 



The head is deep and conical. The peraeon is compressed, with the hind part narrowly 

 elongated. The first two pairs of periosopodd are almost simple, dissimilar to the following, 

 and much shorter. The metacarpus of the third and fourth pairs is much elongated. The 

 fifth pair are provided with a folding hand. The second pair of iiropoda are more or less 

 reduced in the male, and entirely wanting in the female; the peduncle of the last pair is 

 narrow. The telson is fixed subterminally.
