Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. W. M. van Bakel et al. 2010Small-sized carapace (width ranging between 7 and 32 mm), subrectangular in outline; orbitofrontal margin notably broad, dis- tinctly sinuous; orbits wide; rostrum narrowing posteriorly; 3 transverse ridges cross the entire carapace surface, anterior one slightly sinuous, median ridge defined by 2 markedly straight, oblique crests interrupted by broad urogas- tric lobe, posterior one discontinuous on account of shallow branchiocardiac grooves, with median portion displaced posteriorly. Sternum broad, sternites 5-7 crossed by well-developed oblique ridges, sternite 8 extremely reduced; abdominal cavity deep, border well defined, male abdomen triangular, narrow, with all pleomeres free, transversely ridged, telson elongate; abdominal hold- ing represented by moderate projection on sternite 5, salient posterior portion of pleomere 6; pereiopods 5 strongly reduced.
