Diagnosis

In general form resembling Cyclops. Right superior antennae of male without a hinge-joint, but much swollen in the middle. Inferior antennae two-branched, secondary branch nearly equal in size to the primary. Lower foot-jaw like that of Cyclops. Swimming-feet having both branches three-jointed. Fifth pair of feet in the male very complex in structure, the external branch of one side produced into a powerful sickle-shaped clasping-joint, the whole resembling very closely the male copulative organs of some Ostracoda.
