Carapace with middorsal carina extending along entire dorsal midline, with small branchiostegal tooth supported by short carina, Y-shaped carina along branchial region but not reaching posterior margin, slight carina dorsal to Y-shaped carina. Stylocerite longer than eye. Scaphocerite with lateral tooth exceeding blade. Pereopods 1, 2 particularly stout, heavy, both with spinules on merus. All abdominal somites with distinct dorsal carina.
