Habitus
Body transparent to slightly rose, eyes absent or not visible after
the preparation. Apart from the head appendages (cirrus internus and
externus and drop-shaped cephalic papilla (secondary clava)), only
lateral cirrus A (with clava near the base (primary clava) present).
-
Cuticle
Dorsal plates covered with fine, but distinct dark dots that appear
as granulation under PCM, but are in fact cuticular pillars within
cuticle. “Granulation” distinctly larger on the scapular and the
terminal plate. In addition to the “granulation”, slightly larger
and irregularly distributed pores are visible mainly on the margins
of all dorsal plates. Scapular plate facetted with a median
longitudinal fold and a few smaller transverse folds. Paired plates
divided into two unequal anterior and posterior parts by a
transverse stripe without “granulation”. Median plates 1 and 2
divided, median plate 3 undivided. Twelve supplementary plates
poorly visible near median plates 1-3. The terminal plate facetted
with two longitudinal folds. Ventral plates arranged in eight rows:
1 plate in row I (between legs I), 1 plate in row II (between legs I
and II), 2 plates in row III (between legs I and II), 2 plates in
row IV (between legs II), 2 plates in row V (between legs II and
III), 2 plates in row VI (between legs III), 2 plates in row VII (in
line with the gonophore) and 1 plate in row VIII (below the
gonophore); i.e. the ventral plate configuration
VIII:1-1-2-2-2-2-2-1. All ventral plates with fine and indistinct
“granulation”.

Legs and claws
Spine on
legs I and papilla on legs IV absent. Collar on legs IV with poorly
developed and irregular teeth. External claws of all legs smooth,
internal claws with very small spurs directed downwards.
-
Eggs
Unknown.

Remarks
In some specimens ventral plates are indistinct (examination of at
least several specimens to ensure correct identification is strongly
recommended).
