Diagnosis. Exoskeleton rather thin. Rostrum shorter than eyestalk, slightly ascending, apex acute. Carapace with middorsal carina not quite extending to posterior margin, with Y-shaped carina running along branchial region, carina running postero-ventrally from orbital region. Stylocerite acute, longer than eye. Base of thickened flagellum of antennule particularly broad. Scaphocerite with lateral tooth exceeding blade. Third maxilliped setose. Pereopods 1, 2 chelate, pereopod 1 setose, pereopod 2 with strong spines on carpus, merus and ischium; fingers of chelae shorter than palm, crossing at apices. Pereopod 3 thread-like, pereopods 4, 5 short, with blade-shaped dactyls. Only abdominal somite 4 with dorsal carina, extending into posterior tooth. Telson with dorsal groove, rounded apex armed with 6–9 spines, shorter than uropods. Male total length 70 mm, female to 93 mm.

Color in life. Scarlet, eye amber to bronze ( Butler 1980).

Habitat and depth. Pelagic, 500–1300 m.

Range. Indo-West Pacific, Canada to Baja California, Chile, Atlantic Ocean. Type locality "east coast of United States.”
