We do not know of the whereabouts of the remaining 2 syntypes. All specimens are in a poor state of preservation, being covered with a 'felt' of fine needle­like crystalline precipitate that cannot be physically removed. In addition to the habitus drawing mentioned (no sex given), Nordenstam (his fig. 65) illustrated the following details: pereopods I and II (female), left antenna (female), right ... : Published as part of Just, Jean & Wilson, George D.
