Diagnosis of female (Kornicker 1975, with additional remarks). Carapace : posterior rounded with narrow caudal process, length 1.60–2.02 mm. First antenna : 2nd joint with 3 setae, 1 ventral, 1 lateral and 1 dorsal. Second antenna : 1st joint of endopodite with 7–9 setae, 5–6 proximal and 2–3 distal; 2nd joint with 1 long and 3 or 4 (very rarely) short ventral setae and 1 long recurved terminal seta. Mandible : dorsal margin of basale with 6–7 setae, 4–5 near middle and 2 subterminal. Sixth limb : epipodite with 3 setae. Seventh limb : each limb with 9–13 setae, 4–5 distal and 5–8 proximal; 2–3 pegs present on opposite terminal comb. Caudal furca : each lamella with 10 (or rarely 11) claws. Bellonci organ : 1- or 2-jointed, with rounded tip. Lateral eye : small with 2–3 divided ommatidia. Anterior process (above upper lip): developed, with rounded tip. Diagnosis of male. Carapace : length 1.75–2.17 mm. First antenna : 2nd joint with 2–3 setae, 1 ventral, 0–1 lateral and 1 dorsal. Second antenna : 1st joint of endopodite with 5 setae, 4 proximal and 1 distal; proximal seta of 3rd joint about half of its length. Mandible : dorsal margin of ...
