Diagnosis: Rostrum curved sligthly upward, with 3 dorsal teeth. Cervical carina ending in an hepatic spine. Abdominal somite 3 with a large dorsal spine, somites 4–6 with small spines. Females with sternites IX–XI with ventral spines, sternite XII with an oval plate, and sternite XIII with sulcus. Males with an oval plate on sternite XII and a tubercle on sternite XIII. Petasma with distal extremity rounded, ventral costa with distal extremity curved outward, forming a hook. Appendix interna with distal extremity rounded.

Description: Rostrum curved sligthly upward, with 3 dorsal spines; some simple setae on ventral region of rostrum and in front of rostrum spines ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 a). Females with rostrum larger and more curved than males, with distal extremity sligthly curved downward; on the average, rostrum of females approximately 0.9 X of carapace, while in males this ratio is approximately 0.5 X. Adrostral carina well marked; branchiocardiac carina extending from proximal region of carapace to its middle; cervical carina ending in an hepatic spine. Branchiostegal, gastro-orbital, and submarginal carina present; antennal and branchiostegal spines present ( Fig 17 View FIGURE 17 a).

Abdominal somites 1–3 with a depression that extends from dorsum to middle of pleurae. Pleurae with marginal setae; tergum with a median carina on somites 3–6. Abdominal somite 3 with a large dorsal spine, somites 4–6 with small spines. ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 a).

Antennal scaphocerite sligthly longer than antennular peduncle ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 a–c).

Right and left mandibles with incisor and molar processes distinct; palp present ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 d, 17e).

Maxillae, maxillipeds as for the family ( Figs. 17 View FIGURE 17 f–g, 18a–c).

First pereopod dactyl approximately 2 X of palm; carpus approximately 2 X of dactyl; merus of approxiamtely the same size of carpus, with a disto-lateral cuspidate setae ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 d).

Second pereopod merus of approximately the same size of carpus, with a disto-lateral cuspidate setae ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 e).

Third pereopod dactyl approximately 1.5 X of palm; carpus approximately 2.2 X of dactyl, and approximately 1.2 X of merus ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 f).

Fourth pereopod dactyl approximately 0.5 X of propodus; propodus approximately 0.7 X of carpus; carpus approximately 0.7 X of merus ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 g).

Fifth pereopod carpus approximately 0.7 X of merus; males coxa with a lateral inner spine ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 h).

Females with ventral spines on sternites IX–XI, sternite XII with an oval plate, and sternite XIII with sulcus ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 a). Males with an oval plate on sternite XII and a tubercle on sternite XIII ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 b).

Petasma with distal extremity rounded, ventral costa with distal extremity curved outward, forming a hook ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 c–d). Appendix masculina with distal extremity rounded ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 e). Appendix interna triangular, larger and thinner than appendix masculina ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 e–f).

Variations: One male (MNRJ 14581) has the rostrum with 2 truncate spines, besides the three well developed proximal spines ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 a).

Two specimens, one female (MNRJ 14594) and one male (MNRJ 14595), have a cuspidate setae on merus of third pereopod, equal to those of merus of first and second pereopods.
