Stylocerite longer than eye. Scaphocerite with lateral tooth exceeding blade. Pereopods 1, 2 particularly stout, heavy, both with spinules on merus. All abdominal somites with distinct dorsal carina. Telson with dorsal groove, V-shaped posterior notch, not as long as uropods. Male total length 152 mm, female 215 mm.

Color in life. Crimson ( Baba et al. 1986: fig. 58).

Habitat and depth. Pelagic, 0–2400 m, usually at 200–2000 m ( Krygier & Pearcy 1981).
