Diagnosis: Rostrum with 3 dorsal spines. Hepatic spine absent; gastro-orbital carina prominent, almost reaching cervical carina; cervical carina well defined, almost reaching dorsum of carapace. Final quarter of abdominal somite 2 with a dorsal carina that extends to abdominal somites 3–6, somites 3–6 ending in median spines. Thelycum with a large spine on sternite XII, sternite XIII with a semioval marginal setose plate. Males with a lanceolate plate mesially sulcated on sternite XII, sternite XIII with a small spine. Petasma, ventral costa little larger than lateral lobe, with distal extremity forming a hook; lateral lobe approximately of the same size of median lobe. Appendix interna oval, with cuspidate setae on distal extremity and simple setae on surface. Appendix masculina larger and thinner than appendix interna, with simple setae on distal extremity.

Description: Rostrum sligthly curved upward, with three dorsal spines; some simple setae on ventral region of rostrum and in front of rostrum spines (Fig. 5 a). Adrostral and branchiocardiac carina well marked; gastro-orbital carina prominent, almost reaching cervical carina; cervical carina well marked almost reaching dorsum of carapace; antennal, branchiostegal and hepatic carina present, directed to submarginal carina; antennal and branchiostegal spine present; orbital and hepatic spine absent (Fig. 5 a).

Antennal scaphocerite approximately 3/2 of antennular peduncle (Fig. 5 a–c). In adult males, the scaphocerite lamella is produced into a long and tapered structure, sub-equal in length to the enlarged part (Fig. 5 c).

Second pereopod dactyl approximately 1.4X of palm; carpus approximately 2.2X of dactyl; merus approximately 1.2X of carpus (Fig. 6 e).

Third pereopod dactyl approximately 1.4X of palm; carpus approximately 2.5X of dactyl and of the same length of merus; males with a small spine on coxa (Fig. 6 f).

Fourth pereopod dactyl approximately 0.4X of propodus; propodus approximately 0.8X of carpus; merus approximately 1.1X of carpus; males with a small spine on coxa (Fig. 6 g).

Fifth pereopod dactyl aproximately 0.3X of propodus; propodus and carpus approximately of the same length; merus approximately 1.1X of carpus; males with a spine on coxa (Fig. 6 h).

Females with a triangular plate on sternite XII, sternite XIII with a semioval plate with marginal setae (Fig. 7 a). Males with a lanceolate plate mesially sulcated on sternite XII, sternite XIII with a small spine (Fig. 7 b).

Petasma, ventral costa little larger than lateral lobe, with distal extremity forming a hook; lateral lobe approximately of the same size of median lobe (Fig. 7 c–d). Appendix masculina oval, with cuspidate setae on distal extremity and simple setae on surface (Fig. 7 e). Appendix interna larger and thinner than appendix masculina, with simple setae on distal extremity (Fig. 7 f).
