Head without rostrum. Eyes absent. Antennae 1 relatively short; in female slightly shorter than head and first pereonite combined, slightly longer and larger in male. Antennae 2 slightly shorter than A1 with enlarged antennal gland. Mandibles with body narrowed distally; palp as long as body, third article length about 0.8x second. Gnathopod simple. Pereopod 5 subchelate with dactylus closing against distally broadened propodus; remaining pereopods simple. Monospecific.  Sexual dimorphism.As for  Microphasma.   Remarks.This is a very distinctive genus, readily distinguished by the strongly subchelate fifth pereopoda. Its similarity to  Microphasmahas already been discussed under that genus. [625,836,778,804] 1958-01-30 South Pacific 4000 -20.55 The 1267 -168.63333 The 92 93 1 holotype
