Coxosternum of the first maxillae divided, with a mid­longitudinal suture. Coxosternum of the second maxillae undivided; groove from the metameric pore reaching the lateral margin of the coxosternum. Telopodites of the second maxillae well developed, overreaching those of the first maxillae; claw present. Forcipular tergum only slightly wider than long, without a distinct mid­longitudinal sulcus. Sternal sulcus of trunk segments not furcate. Coxopleura of the last leg­bearing segment without a macropore distinct from other pores.
