Zhang et al., 2 Aug. 2020); zoea I (from ñ 17.2 mm, NCHUZOOL 16777, Chihsi, Siyu, Penghu, coll. Y.-C. Zhang et al., 10 Aug. 2020).

Carapace ( Fig. 6A ): Lateral spines lacking, dorsal spine curved and very reduced, rostral spine straight, dorsal spine as long as rostral spine and pointed termination. Eyes round and sessile.

Antennule ( Fig. 6B ): Uniramous, endopod absent. Exopod smooth, unarticled, with 2 aesthetascs and 2 simple setae terminally.

Antenna ( Fig. 6C ): Protopod basal region smooth, distal end acuminate, bearing 2 rows of spines. Exopod short, with 1 terminal simple seta, seta not reaching tip of protopod. Endopod absent.

Maxillule ( Fig. 6D ): Epipod seta absent; coxal endite with 4 plumodenticulate setae and 1 plumose seta; basial endite with 4 plumodenticulate setae and 1 plumose seta; endopod 2-articled, proximal article without setae, 4 sparsely plumose in distal article; exopod seta absent.

Maxilla ( Fig. 6E ): Coxal endite bilobed with 3+3 plumose setae; basial endite bilobed with 5+4 plumose setae; endopod bilobed with 1+2 terminal sparsely plumose; scaphognathite with 4 densely plumose setae and a long acuminate posterior process with microtrichias.

First maxilliped ( Fig. 6F ): Basis with 2+2+3+2 sparsely plumose setae; endopod 5-articled with 2, 2, 1, 2, 5 plumose setae; exopod 2-articled with 4 terminal long plumose setae.

Second maxilliped ( Fig. 6G ): Basis with 1+1+1+1 sparsely plumose setae; endopod 3-articled with 0, 0, 5 plumose setae; exopod 2-articled with 4 terminal long plumose setae.

Pleon ( Fig. 6H ): With 5 pleonites, second pleonite with a pair of relatively acute dorsolateral spines pointing anterodorsally; third pleonite with a pair of relatively obtuse dorsolateral spines pointing posterodorsally; fourth pleonite wider than other pleonites. Pleopods absent.

Telson ( Fig. 6H ): Telson bifurcated, inner margin with 6 (3+3) serrate spines.
