Comments. This species is particularly distinct from other taxa in the form of the telson and cercopods; the telson spines bear secondary spines and the cercopods have a row of cylindrical spines instead of setae. Similarly, the posterior thoracic segments appear to be prolonged into spiniform projections. It is possible that this species may belong to a separate genus, but until material is examined no determination can be made.
