First maxilliped with exopod not terminating distally in broad, semidetached lobe; caridean lobe of exopod well developed; endite not unusually large, with well-developed exopodal flagellum. Second maxilliped with segments arranged in usual serial manner; terminal segment applied as narrow strip to mesial margin of penultimate segment; with exopod. Third maxilliped slender, pereiopod-like, with exopod. Mandible not bifurcate, incisor and molar processes not separated by distinct sinus; with palp. First maxilla with distal endite not unusually large; proximal endite not reduced or absent.
