Diagnosis

Body strongly depressed dorsoventrally, without marked constriction between prosome and urosome. CR short, no more than about 3 times as long as wide, frequently heavily ornamented with rows of spinules. A1 of female short, 8-11 segments. A2 with all 4 segments short and stout. Mx short and compressed, with row of large spinules along border between coxa and basis and another transverse row on ventral surface of precoxa. Mxp 3-segmented due to fusion of last 2 segments; 2 largest of 4 setae on terminal segment confluent with that segment (see Fig. 7g). P1-4 with both rami 3-segmented; coxa and basis of P1 bearing strong, thick seta; those pf P2-4 wide and evenly curved, sometimes partially bilobed. Seta at medial corner of coxa long on P1, short on P2-4. In all swimming legs, Ri1 and Ri2 without spiniform process on outer distal corner. P1Ri2 with one seta, P2-4 with 2 setae on this segment. P4Ri3 with 2 terminal spines. Spine formula 3443; complete armature of swimming legs as follows: (see Morton 1990: 670) P5 without distinctly articulated segment, reprsented only by 3 elements arising directly from 1st urosomal somite.
