Major cheliped with carpus, chela proper sharply spinose, chela proper setose, bearing 7 longitudinal rows of spines. Minor cheliped setose, carpus, chela also bearing spines. Pereopods 2, 3 with elongate dactyls, series of spines on carpus of anterior pair only, both pairs with scattered setae. Telson with left lobe slightly larger than right, with V-shaped median cleft; right terminal margin with 4–8 small teeth, 1 stronger laterodistal tooth; left with 4–9 small teeth, one larger laterodistal tooth. Carapace length to 21 mm.
Color in life. Not reported. Rathbun (1904) noted that pereopods 2, 3 were banded.
Habitat and depth. Mud or sand, 9–476 m.
Range. Kodiak, Alaska to off Santa Cruz I., California. Type locality Sitka, Alaska.
