Uropod endopod article 1 1.5 length of articles 2 and 3 together. Adult male carapace rectangular in dorsal view, with sharp corners. Antennule with cluster of aesthetascs on article 1 of main flagellum. Antennal peduncle articles 4 and 5 with setae around entire circumference, flagellum extending past pereon, but not to end of pleon.
