Rostrum deep, extending beyond end of antennular peduncle with 10–15 dorsal, 6 or 7 ventral teeth in male; 12–26 dorsal, 3–8 ventral teeth in female, 3 or 4 large serrate teeth on dorsal midline of carapace proper. Second, third segments of antennular peduncle each bearing spine. Stylocerite reaching third segment of antennular peduncle. Carapace with 3–4 supraorbital teeth. Pereopods 1–3 with epipods. Pereopods 3–5 stout, dactyls spinose, bifid. Merus of pereopod 3 with 1–2 spines, pereopod 4, with 0–2 spines; pereopod 5, 0–1 spine.
