Maxilliped: Inner plate just reaching past merus base; 2 long plumose spines distally, about 3 down inner margin, a small spine proximally. Outer plate arising just below end of inner plate, reaching ⅔ along carpus inner margin, not widening much, outer margin rounding distally to inner, short plumose setae along inner margin. Ischium as long as wide, slightly longer than merus outer margin; merus inner margin ⅔ length outer, slightly less than width; 3 or 4 long plumose setae on inner distal angle. Carpus inner margin ½ as long again as merus outer margin, with strong fringe of long slender plumose setae: several plumose setae on carpus outer distal angle; carpus not widening distally; on one surface a single row of long plumose setae runs from ½ down inner margin of basos obliquely across ischium to merus outer distal angle. Propod small, sub-rectangular, more than ½ length carpus inner margin, width ½ length, long plumose setae on distal angles. Dactylos ½ propod length and width, plumose setae distally, long slender terminal nail about ¾ propod length.

Gnathopods. First: Sideplate ovately subtriangular, anterodistally rounded, about 4 short setae anteriorly, 3 very long plumose setae ventrally. Basos proximally constricted, posterior margin convex, distal width ⅓ length, a single very long seta at posterodistal angle. Ischium subrectangular, posterior margin about ¾ width, length more than ¼ basos; row of long plumose setae posteriorly on distal margin. Merus small, subtriangular, posterior margin as long as ischium, 3 or 4 long plumose setae on posterodistal angle, 1 or 2 on surface. Carpus about ¾ basos length, greatest width ⅖ length; anterior margin slightly convex, single seta about ⅔ along, 3 or 4 short setae distally; straight posterior margin has double fringe of long plumose setae, some as long as propod. Propod as long as carpus, width

¼ length, not widening much; about 4 rows of 2 to 6 long plumose setae proximally on surface, several more setae at anterodistal angle, several midway along posterior margin; long seta-tipped spine at about ¾ marks beginning of obliquely convex and poorly defined palm, several shorter seta-tipped spines along palm. Stout curved dactylos shorter than palm, only as long as propod is wide; inner margin has single tooth medially, a few small setae on surface and margins. Second: Sideplate small, subrectangular, single long plumose seta anterodistally. Basos width ½ length, a few fine setae distally. Ischium very small, wedge-shaped, posterior margin ¼ basos length, a fine seta posterodistally. Merus as long as basos and ischium combined, anterior margin slightly concave, contiguous with carpus posterior margin so merus and carpus appear as single plate; row of very long plumose setae on strongly convex posterior margin, a similar row running in more or less parallel arc along surface. Carpus subtriangular; anterior margin straight, barely shorter than merus, a few very fine setae distally. Propod slender, narrowing slightly distally; ½ as long again as basos, width about ⅕ length; slightly convex anterior margin has a few very small fine setae; oblique row of long plumose setae runs almost right across surface from posteroproximal angle; several short and long setae on posterior margin; tufts of moderately long setae on distal angles. Stout dactylos about ¼ propod length, tridentate with 2 or 3 very short setae.
