Second maxilla: with slightly reduced number of setae. Maxilliped: inner and outer lobes short, distally armed with short spines. Gnathopods not sexually dimorphous. Three pairs of coxal gills. Pleopodal exopodites not transformed; one spine on exopodite segment 2 of pleopod 2 ( в ) transformed. Uropod 1 transformed (6 , 2): endopodite curved, dagger-like (<3, 2), exopodite shorter than endopodite (6 , 2 ), dagger-like (2 ) or baculiform with transformed distal spines ( 6 ). Uropod 2 not transformed in shape or armature (<3, 2 ). Third uropod: exopodite monomerous, endopodite long.
