( NMNH 1004428 View Materials ). One adult W paratype, same locality ( NMNH 1004429 View Materials ). One non-ovigerous X, same locality.
Diagnosis (female). Pereonite 4 wider than long. Pereonite 6 only half as long as wide. Pleonite lateral margin nakedly rounded. Pleonites with weakly defined midventral keel and several lateral setulose setae. Antennular article 1 stout (l/w ratio 3.1), article 4 less than twice as long as combined length of articles 5–7. Cheliped with dactylus and fixed finger of subequal length, fixed finger bearing conspicuous denticles on inner margin. Last pair of pleopods not reaching apex of pleotelson. Uropods as long as or longer than pleon. Uropodal exopod with two articles, shorter than endopod article 1. Uropod attachment midlength on pleotelson and at 45° angle.
Etymology. Latin: curvi + manus =bent+hand. Reflecting the unusual arrangement of the male cheliped dactylus relative to the fixed finger.
