Recognition characters. Carapace with arched margins. Outer orbital spine followed by 4 small lateral spines. Gastric area with 2 pairs of spines behind supraocular spines: 1 well-developed epigastric pair, and another, smaller protogastric pair. One parahepatic spine on each side of carapace, forming hexagon with preceding spines. Anterior hepatic and branchial areas unarmed. One small postcervical spine on each side. One spine on mesocardiac sulcus. Posterior margin of carapace with 1 pair of spines. Transverse lineae continuous, indistinct, with regularly spaced cilia. Abdominal tergites 2, 3 and 4 with anterior margin armed. Tergite 4 with posterior margin unarmed or, more rarely, armed with 1 spine. Peduncle of antennule with 1 inner terminal spine little longer than outer spine. Lateral margin with 2 spines of average development. Peduncle of antenna with small outer distal spine on segment 2. Remaining segments unarmed. Third maxilliped with strong spine at middle of ventral (flexor) margin of merus.
Distribution. Western Atlantic: Gulf of Mexico (north and south coasts), Lesser Antilles (Grenada), Guiana, Brazil (Alagoas, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul) and Uruguay (to the north of the Rio de la Plata).
