A profile of abdominal segment 3 shows the spines present near the middle and the posterior end of the middorsal line

The fourth abdominal segment also has a spine present at the posterior end of the middorsal line.

This view of the left antennal scale, which is longer than the telson shows that the antennal lamella is slightly longer than the spine. Just above the scale the endopodite of the second antenna, which consists of several segments then a flexible whiplike "flagellum" composed of many small segments and being about as long as the animal's body. The antennal scale is the exopodite of the second antenna.

As with all Pandalids, the carpus of the second leg is "multiarticulated"--it has many ringlike striations in it that allow it to bend. Most Pandalids that I have observed hold this second leg up next to the body and it is hard to get a clear view of it in a living individual.

The telson has a double row of 6-10 spines along the dorsal surface. This is an oblique view of the telson from the right side, with the right uropods missing. The left uropods, which are slightly shorter than the telson, are visible behind the telson.
