SUMMARY
Description. Rostrum long, dorsal margin slightly curved in the middle and pointed upwards 6.43–6.66 × as long as high, shorter than or equal to scaphocerite. 19–23 pre orbital teeth on dorsal margin of rostrum arranged up to tip. With two post orbital teeth and 4–7 teeth on ventral margin of rostrum (Fig. 13A). Carapace smooth with pterygostomial angle not protruding, rounded (Fig. 13B). Pleuron of fifth abdominal segment pointed with an acute posterior angle (Fig. 13C). Telson with four pairs of dorsal spines arranged in curved fashion (Fig. 13D). Distal border of telson with 9 spines (5 pairs) arranged in fan-like pattern. Outermost pair of spines shortest, similar to dorsal spines, adjacent pair stronger terminating before the finely setulose, inner pairs (Fig. 13E). Antennulary stylocerite with its tip failing to reach or reaching distal margin of basal peduncle segment. Anterolateral lobe of basal segment short and round (Fig. 13G). Distal segment of antennular peduncle with 1–2 spines (Fig. 13F). Basal lower endite of maxilla densely covered with long simple setae arranged in 18–20 oblique parallel rows. Endite of maxilla 1.58–1.59 × as long as basal lower endite (Fig. 14G). Basal endite of first maxilliped reaching clearly beyond distal end of exopod (Fig. 14F). Distal one-third of terminal segment of third maxilliped bearing 1–6 mesial spines and one subdistal lateral spine near the base of larger terminal spine (Fig 14H).Armature along flexor margin of dactylus of third and fourth pereiopod consisting of 6–7 and 6–7 spines respectively (Figs 14B, 14D). Merus of third and fourth pereiopod with 4 and 3 spines respectively (Figs 14A, 14D). Armature along flexor margin of dactylus of fifth pereiopod consisting of 28 spines (Fig. 14E).
