In the uropods the exopod is a little longer than the endopod and bears 
always one or two terminal mucrones. 
The fossorial legs have two to three setae on the carpus, the longest reach- 
ing, with propodal seta, to apex of dactylus, or beyond it. 
Adult males and ovigerous females vary in size from about 4 mm. to 6-1 
mm., and one is inclined at first to recognize two species.

view; C, uropod; D, reticulation of carapace (A and B, X 29; C, X 84; D, X 180; mucrones of 
exopod of uropod, X 400). 
Ovigerous females vary little excepting in size; in the smaller examples the 
peduncle of the uropod is relatively short, barely one-third longer than the rami. 
In all females the peduncle of the uropods lacks plumose setae while the 
serrate inner margin of the endopod bears two to four comb-edged spines, but 
no proximal slender spines (fig. 31, J). The inner edge of the exopod is furnished 
with a few plumose setae. 
Adult male (4-1 mm. to 4-7 mm.). Carapace with dorsal edge slightly and 
evenly arched, about two-sevenths of total length and almost twice as long as 
deep; in section it is almost lenticular, its width less than depth; the 
sides rise steeply to a sharp median longitudinal carina, which extends for 
whole length. Antennal notch moderately wide and deep; from it a short
