Peraeopods. First: Width nearly ½ length, lip-scales across anteroventral portion; otherwise as in Gn. 2. Basos width ⅓ length, not quite sideplate length, single spine on each distal angle; ischium slightly narrower, ⅓ basos length, naked. Merus piriform, ½ basos length, width ⅔ length, 3 single spines on anterior margin, 2 single and pair on distal angle posteriorly. Carpus ⅓ basos length, widening distally to ¾ length, 2 or 3 spines on anterodistal angle, group of 3 spines ½ along posterior margin, 5 on angle; propod margins parallel, anterior with 2 pairs of spines plus bristle-setae, latter also on distal angle; posterior with 5 groups of 3–5 spines, width ⅓ length, length ⅔ basos; dactylos stout, curved, ⅔ propod length, 2 or 3 minute setae on margins.
