Measurements. (mm) Postorbital carapace length: females 2.7–5.1, males 2.7–4.4; carapace and rostrum length: females 4.0–6.9, males 3.4–6.4; total body length: females 7.5–17.2, males 7.5–15.5.

Color pattern. Unknown

Development. Ovigerous females range in size from 4.1–5.1 mm postorbital carapace length, 11.7–15.4 mm total length and carried 4– 11 eggs. Eggs at blastula stage with undifferentiated yolk cells were 1.25 × 1.50 mm in size, while eggs with embryos having pigmented eyes and well developed appendages were 1.40 × 0.93 mm in size.

Distribution. Northwestern African coast, off Morocco, Western Sahara and Mauritanie; Gulf of Cadiz and off Roscoff, France. Specimens were collected at depths of 511 to 2070 m, with an average depth of 941 m.

Habitat. This rare species has been collected by beam trawl or epibenthic sled in sandy mud bottoms among coral, shells, sponges, pteropods and forams.
