Pleotelson not fused with pereonite 7, half­cylindrical in cross­section, caudally broadly rounded in dorsal view. First peduncular article of antenna 1 distally rounded, longer than wide or length subequal to width, with small or absent medial lobe. Chewing area of molar process strongly excavated, proximal margin with strong, serrated cusps. Epipodite of maxilliped narrow.
