Description "Valves sub-rectangular in lateral view, males more elongate than females. Dorsal margin slightly sinuous; dorsal ridge very weak; anterior margin with 8 to 18 spines; posterior margin with up to 10 spines, a few of them robust and long. Ventrolateral ridge well developed, with 1 robust and long spine arising on its posterior end. Marginal rims (i.e. anterior-most and posterior-most areas of lateral surface) smooth and wide. Anterior muri more robust than posterior ones. Deep and rounded fossae just dorsal to ventrolateral ridge. Fossae in anterior field smaller, deeper and more rounded than those in posterior field. Posterior fossae polygonal and arranged regu- larly in sub-vertical rows. Anterior field separated from the posterior field by slight mural loop. Carapace arrow-shaped and rounded in dorsal and ventral views. Hinge holamphidont. Four vertically aligned and undivided adductor muscle scars, plus three frontal scars. Valves lack both ocular sinuses and eye tubercles.
Antennula with only 5 articulated segments; segments I and II fused; segments V and VI also fused. Segment I and II without setae but with some unarticulated barbulae. Segment III termi- nally with 1 long, ventrolateral seta, unarticulated barbulae also present on dorsal and ventral margins. Segment IV with one dorsal seta. Segment V with 4 distal setae and one lateral, possibly sensory seta (because of its rounded tip). Segment VI (fused to segment V) with 5 distal setae: 2 normal setae, 1 reduced seta and 2 claws. Segment VII with 2 distal claws and 1 modified structure (i.e. ‘1fsc’ in chaetotaxy formula), which is possibly an aesthetasc fused to a claw. Supposedly sensory part of this modified seta is rounded and flexible.
Segments I and II of antenna fused and without seta. Segment III with 1 dorsal seta and 1 very long, ventral seta. Exopodite 3-segmented and modified as a spinneret seta. Seg- ments IV and V fused. Segment IV dorso-distally with 2 setae; ventro-distally with 1 seta, 1 barbed claw, and 1 supposedly sensory, ‘candle-shaped’ seta with a flattened tip. Segment V without setae both dorsally and ventrally, but distally with 1 claw and 1 reduced seta. Segment VI with 2 ventral claws and 1 distal claw.
The mandibula consists of a strongly sclerotized masticatory process (= coxa) with 1 short, distal seta, around 5 strong teeth (endites) and a segmented palp. The mandibular palp consists of a basis (basipodite of some authors), a 1-segmented exopodite and a 2-segmented endopodite. Segment II (= basis) ventrally with 3 setae: 1 normal seta, 1 ‘carrot-like’ seta, 1 plumose seta; ventro-distally with 1 long, plumose seta and 2 simple setae. Exopodite with 5 distal seta, one of these long and plumose. Segment III (= endopoite segment 1) with 5 distal setae, 1 dorsal seta, 3 simple lateral setae, and 1 lateral plumose seta. Segment IV with 4 distal setae, 1 of them annulated.
Maxillula basis with three endites (or masticatory lobes, or masticatory processes), a 2-segmented endopodite (= palp), a well-developed exopodite (or vibratory plate). Exopodite flat and large, with 15 distal ‘Strahlen’ and one proximal, plumose, dorsal, aberrant ‘Strahl’. Endite I with 6 distal setae. Endite II with 5 distal setae and 1 thick, ventrolateral seta. Endite III with 5 to 6 distal setae. Segment I of palp with 1 thick, long lateral seta and 4 dorso-distal setae. Segment II with 2 long setae and 1 short seta. Palp as thick as endites.
Segment I of fifth limb dorsally with 2 annulated setae; distally with 2 annulated setae; ventrally with a ‘carrot-like’ exopodite (dashed and marked with a ‘*’ in Plate 9, fig. F and detailed in Plate 9, fig. G). Segment II dorsally with 1 short, thick, distal seta. Segment III without seta. Segment IV with 1 long, distal claw. [details]
