Description:
The prawn caught in the net displays a subcylindrical body shape. Its rostrum is short, extending to the mid-line of the third segment of the antennular peduncle, but never reaching the distal edge of the scaphocerite. The rostrum is moderately deep, and both dorsal and ventral carinae are convex. There is one tooth that is entirely postorbital, with a total of 7 teeth on the dorsal carina and 3 teeth on the ventral carina. The second pair of pereiopods are robust, having a similar shape, but they differ in size and are rather flat with an oval cross-section. The carpus is cup-shaped, shorter than the chela, and shorter than the merus
