description
Description Rostrum acute at tip, directed forward (Fig. 5 a). Carapace with a dorsal carina with two small spines (Fig. 5 a). Cornea approximately 1 / 3 of ocular peduncle. Ocular peduncle broad, with a big innerlateral spine that surpasses cornea and rostrum (Fig. 5 a). Mandible with 10 teeth incisor process; without molar process; with palp (Fig. 5 b, c). Pereiopod 1, merus with 16 18 cuspidate setae. Pereiopod 2, carpus with a big innerlateral spine; merus with 23 26 cuspidate setae; ischium with 1 2 cuspidate setae; basis with 13 16 cuspidate setae (Fig. 5 d). Pereiopod 3 long and filiform, reaching half of P 2 palm. Pereiopod 4 and pereiopods 5 reduced, P 4 smaller than P 5. Abdominal somite 4 with a dorsal spine. Male endopod with marginal articulate plumose setae, with hooked setae on distal lobe (Fig. 6 a, b). Appendix interna with terminal hooked setae (Fig. 6 c, d). Appendix masculina approximately 2 / 3 length of appendix interna, with marginal cuspidate setae (Fig. 6 c). Telson long, sulcate on almost its entire length, with ten terminal cuspidate setae of different sizes, outer ones bigger than inner ones (Fig. 6 e).
