Description:
The second urosomal segment of this organism has ventrolateral setae. The right exopodal segment 2 has an inner projection that is larger in length compared to its outer border, and it has a ridge on the posterior surface, which gives it a slightly bifid appearance. The length of the left exopodal segment 1 is similar to segment 2 and shorter than the basal segment. The inner spine on exopodal segment 2 is less than twice the length of the segment. In females, the base of the terminal spine is swollen, and the spine’s margins have fine denticulations. There are pointed lateral extensions on the fifth thoracic segment. The furcal rami are long. On the genital segment, there are two large spines on the posterior margin. The 15th, 16th, and 8th segments of the first antenna have slender spines. The terminal spine of the fifth leg has a small lobe at its base.
