Description:
In the female of this species, several distinctive features can be observed. The prosome is notably robust, measuring 1.5 times the length of the urosome. The second segment of the second antenna (A2) is broad and sports two teeth on the inner distal margin. The fourth leg (P4) endopodite carries only a single seta. Both the urosome and caudal rami have a slender appearance. The anal somite is twice as long as it is wide, and the caudal rami are slightly longer than the anal somite, with the same length as the genital somite.In the male of this species, one may occasionally observe a tiny median hook on the ventral proximal corner of the genital somite. The caudal rami are slightly longer than the anal somite and are slightly shorter than the genital somite.
