Material: Two carapaces.
Figured Specimen: ULVG-13490.
Dimensions:
| Instar | Length (mm) | Height (mm) | Width (mm) | |
| ULVG -13490 | A2 | 1.6 | 1.0 | 0.8 |
|---|
Remarks: Though the juvenile carapaces recovered are not well preserved, they display the subovoid to subrectangular outline in lateral view and the slightly convex dorsal margin of instars of this species, as described by the emended description provided by Guzmán et al. (2022). Based on the measurements provided by the same authors, the carapaces recovered in the present work potentially represent the A2 instar.
