Description "Carapace small to medium, heavily calcified. Muri strongly developed, fossae polygonal with foveolate, papillate sol urn. Bridge well developed. Ventral carina continuous from anterior to posterior margins. Median ridge moderately well developed. Normal pores distributed intramurally, setae thick and simple. Sieve plate pores located on solum often with eccentric perforations, setae mostly dendritic. Internally, carapace typical for the genus. Hinge in right valve with lobate posterior tooth. Blind." (Jellinek, T. & Swanson, 2003: 57) [details]
Diagnosis "A small to médium sized, very heavily calcified, trapezoid shaped carapace. Anterior cardinal angle raised and strong, dorsal ridge pronounced and continuous. Vertical muri retain rectangular shape dorsally." (Jellinek, T. & Swanson, 2003: 57) [details]
Etymology "For Dr. GRAHAM FENWICK whose studies of crustacean ecology in general and myodocopid life history in particular are a significant contribution to New Zealand natural science." (Jellinek, T. & Swanson, 2003: 57) [details]
