Description:

This view shows the last two pereonites (at top), then the two free pleonites and the front of the pleotelson. The lateral plates seen on the pereonites are actually coxal plates. Note that the posterolateral margin of the coxal plate from the last (7th) pereonite is pointed (acute) The first pleonite is narrow or acute at the edge, much narrower than it is mid-dorsally. Note the notch at the sides of the front of the pleotelson showing the margin of a third partly free pleonite.
