Recognition characters. Carapace with arched margins. Outer orbital spine followed by 6 or more lateral spines. Transverse row of epigastric spines. One parahepatic spine on each side of carapace. Branchial areas armed with 1 pair of spines on each side. Usually with 1 pair of postcervical spines on each side of carapace; but these spines may be lacking or be present in a larger number. Supraocular spines short, reaching proximal margin of cornea. Abdominal tergites unarmed. Peduncle of antennule with inner terminal spine much longer than outer spine. Peduncle of antenna with segment 1 (basis) armed with 1 strong inner terminal spine, segment 2 armed with 1 inner terminal and 1 outer terminal spine and segment 3 armed with 1 inner terminal and 1 outer terminal spine; fourth segment with 1 outer terminal spinule. Third maxilliped with at least 3 spines on ventral (flexor) margin of merus. Sternum with armed margins.

Distribution. Western Atlantic: Carolinas, Gulf of Mexico (southeast and northeast coast), Bahamas, Cuba (north and south coast), Cay Sal Banks, Lesser Antilles (St. Croix, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Barbados, Grenadines, Grenada), Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil (Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul) and Uruguay (north of the Rio de la Plata).
