Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Karasawa et al. 2011Carapace ovate, longer than wide, widest at position of bifid third lateral spine, about 60% the distance posteriorly on carapace; widening posteriorly, strongly vaulted longitudinally and transversely; rostrum blunt triangular, axially sulcate, with tiny spines on margins, strongly downturned at tip to be oriented almost perpen- dicular to dorsal carapace; outer suborbital spine extending posteriorly in large, laterally inflated flange; subhepatic region strongly inflated, ornamented with granules arrayed in longitudinal row; lateral margin with five spines; cervical groove sinuous, beginning posterior to outer suborbital spine, deep; branchiocardiac groove much weaker; postcervical groove very short, oblique segments merging with groove defining lateral sides of urogastric region; flanks steep, at right angles to dorsal carapace, posterior to subhepatic region surface of flank concave, perhaps to accommodate merus of first pereiopod, posterior to this concavity the surface is corrugated with three parallel oblique concavities perhaps to accommodate meri of pereiopods 2-4.
