Dorsal spine on each of segments of antennular peduncle, stylocerite reaching end of first segment. Carapace with 2 supraorbital teeth. Pereopods 1, 2 with epipods. Pereopods 3–5 slender, merus of each bearing 3–4 spines, dactyls slender, bearing 4–6 spinules. Pleura of abdominal somites 1–3 rounded, 4, 5 with weak point. Telson with 3 or 4 pairs dorsolateral spines, acute apex. Male total length 18 mm, female to 24 mm.
