Antenna 2 : overlapped by antenna 1 to midway along article 5; article 5 and flagellum, posterior margin covered in a mass of plumose setae; simple setae absent; flagellum 3 articles, the last half the length of the second; article 1 87% of full flagellum length. Mandible : palp articles 2 and 3 without a dorsal fringe of setae; raker spines 4 right, 5 left. Gnathopod 1 : coxal margins, anterior 113% of dorsal length; ventral margin straight; basis, anterior margins with a few fine setae spaced along their length, posterior margin with a single distal seta; carpus, length 65% of propodus length, posterior lobe 50% of anterior margin length, anterodistal setal cluster short, 39% of the anterior margin length; propodus, palm convex, with one defining spine slightly proximal of centre.
