Carpus of pereopods 5–7 with numerous long simple setae ventrally. Pleopod 1 length 1.7 times width, broadest part in the proximal fifth, greatest width 2.2 narrowest width. Pleopod 2 protopod length 1.9 width; endopod length 0.8 protopod length, sperm duct reaching from endopod tip almost to proximal third of article 2. Description of male (ANDEEP specimen) Body (Fig. 2): Margins of pereonites rounded, smooth; pereonite 5 widest. Pleotelson length 0.2 body length, tapering slightly distally; lateral margins slightly convex, serrated, with numerous setae (broken off in illustrated specimen); terminal margin with median convex extension bearing the anus; dorsal surface with 2 rounded longitudinal ridges, ventral surface with faint cuticular suture line surrounding branchial chamber. Cuticle of body, pleopods 1 and 2, maxillipedal epipod and peduncular articles of antenna with numerous small round depressions (Fig. 3 G).
