Venter flavo-bruneus. Caput latum subquadrangulare. Tentacula externa ovalia fine processu conico. Branchiae (cirrus dorsalis) pedicellatae versus finem decrescentes, pedicella vero increscentia. Cirri ventrales usque ad finem aequales. Labium superum pinnae superioris in segmentis posticis obsoletum inferum In ambabus pinnis foliosum. Maxillae longae dentibus 2 obtusis vix prominentibus."
