Ocular peduncles usually short, cornea somewhat dilated and well-pigmented. Orbit delimited ventrally by a denticulate crest. Antennular article 1 with 2 or 3 distal spines (distodorsal and distolateral usually present, distomesial often reduced or absent). Article 1 of antennal peduncle usually with welldeveloped distomesial spine; article 2 with distomesial and distolateral spines. Mxp3 ischium subtriangular in cross-section, merus armed with 1–3 spines on flexor margin. P1 spinose and setose.
