Diagnosis "Carapace of typically bairdian shape but laterally inflated and ventrally flattened, smooth, with anteroventral and posteroventral marginal denticles on the left valve, marginal frills on the right valve. Fused claw of antenna coarsely serrate, with only 5-6 barbs that decrease rapidly in size, nearly as strongly serrate in the female as in the male; anterodistal seta short in the male, long in the female; distal claw smooth and tapering to a slightly bent point in both sexes. Vibratory plate of fifth limb has two unfeathered setae segregated proximally in both sexes. Furca with seven setae, the second very long and feathered, the first, third, fourth, and fifth of intermediate length, and the sixth and seventh fairly short. Hemipenis massive, elaborate, with very long copulatory tube." (from Maddocks, & Iliffe, 1986) [details]
