Etymology
The species name refers to the curvature in the strong lateral spine of the last exopod segment of the male right fifth leg.
Diagnosis
Male. Lacking ornamentation of spinules or denticles along sutures between prosome somites. Paired posterolateral wings on prosome subsymmetrical. Large subconical blunt dorsal process present on fourth urosomite, with chitinous protuberances on apex. Modified seta on segment 11 of right antennule of male longer than modified seta on segment 13. Segment 14 lacking process. Small processes on segments 15 and 16 of right antennule. Lateral hyaline lamella present on segment 20 of right antennule, with a small process distally. Small semicircular process present on proximal inner margin of basis of right leg 5. Endopod of right leg 5 well developed, triangular in outline. Lateral spine of fifth leg downwardly curved, strong and longer than the segment on which it is inserted.
