Eye pigmented. Stylocerite acute, about as long as first segment of antennular peduncle. Scaphocerite broad, blade about equal to lateral tooth. Third maxilliped setose, with exopod. Pereopod 1 with spine on inner surface of merus, propodus broad, dactyl closing nearly transversely across propodus. Pereopod 2 slender, chelate. Pereopod 3 slender, with simple dactyl. Pereopods 4, 5 more robust, longer than third, with simple dactyls. Pleura of abdominal somites blunt to rounded. Somite 6 with median dorsal carina, ventral groove, moderate posteroventral tooth. Telson narrow, with broad median groove, 2 pairs dorsolateral spines. Inner uropod longer than telson. Male total length 32 mm, female 53 mm.
