Diagnosis. Body stout. Rostrum with distal 0.66 ascending sharply, 8–12 dorsal teeth, spines; 5–7 ventral teeth, apex bifid. Carapace with strong antennal, moderate to weak pterygostomian teeth, patch of pubescence on cardiac region. Eyes large, cornea almost spherical. Antennular peduncle short, stylocerite short, round. Scaphocerite narrow, lateral tooth exceeding blade, peduncle short. Third maxilliped moderately stout, antepenultimate segment with slight lamina, epipod present. Pereopods 1–4 with epipods.
