Description:
The rostrum is either short or slightly convex at the dorsal margin, extending to the end of the second segment of the antennular peduncle or to the end of the antennular peduncle, typically reaching the distal half of the third segment of the antennular peduncle. There are antennal and hepatic spines present. The antennular peduncle is 0.6 times as long as the carapace, and the scaphocerite is 2.8 times as long as wide. The first pereiopod, with an entire chela, extends beyond the distal end of the scaphocerite, and the fingers are slightly shorter than the palm. The chela is 0.65 times as long as the carpus. The second pereiopods are unequal in length but similar in form. The major second pereiopod is slightly shorter than the body, with one-third of the carpus extending beyond the distal end of the scaphocerite. The carpus is cylindrical, shorter than the merus, and half the length of the palm. The palm is slightly broader than the carpus, and the fingers, with distinctive longitudinal grooves, are densely covered by velvety setae. The fingers do not gape even when closed and have two pairs of strong teeth at the proximal half of the cutting edge, with the proximal tooth of the fixed finger being blunt and having two or more tubercles distally. The third pereiopod, with the entire dactylus, extends beyond the distal end of the scaphocerite. The propodus is seven times as long as wide, and 2.1 times as long as the dactylus. The uropodal diaeresis features a spine much smaller than the outer angle. Ovigerous females have eggs with dimensions of 1.7–2.2×1.4–1.8 mm in diameter.
