Description. Female. Body length 2.45–2.90 mm. Prosome 3.20–3.35 times as long as urosome ( Fig. 1A–B View FIGURE 1 ). Rostrum ( Fig. 1D–E View FIGURE 1 ) two-pointed, divergent. Cephalosome and pedigerous somite 1 partly fused and pedigerous somites 4–5 separate; posterior corners of prosome prolonged into short points, covering the proximal third of genital double-somite ( Fig. 1A–B, F–G View FIGURE 1 ). Urosome of 4 somites. Genital double-somite symmetrical, anterior third in dorsal view with lateral swellings and in lateral view with dorsal swelling ( Fig. 1F–G View FIGURE 1 ). Spermathecae narrowelongate and oval-widened in the distal part ( Fig. 1F View FIGURE 1 ). Caudal rami with 1 lateral seta, 1 ventral seta, and 4 terminal setae ( Fig. 1F–G View FIGURE 1 ).
Antennule ( Fig. 2A–D View FIGURE 2 ) reaching pedigerous somite 4, of 24 articulating segments; armature as follows: I–2s (holotype, paratype and additional specimens 2 and 3), or 3s in additional specimen 1, II–IV–6s+1ae, V –2s+1ae, VI –2s, VII –2s+1ae, VIII and IX–2s each, X–XI–4s+1ae, XII and XIII–2s each, XIV –1s+1? in holotype and 2s+1ae in paratype, XV–2s, XVI –2s+1ae, XVII to XX–2s each, XXI –2s in holotype and 2s+1ae in paratype, XXII and XXIII–1s each, XXIV –2s+1ae, XXV –XXVI–2s each, XXVII –XXVIII–4s+1ae in holotype and 5s+1ae in paratype.
