This view is of a preserved specimen captured between 700-750 m depth in San Clemente Basin, CA in July 1984. Note the large, chelate first and second pereopods.
This closeup of the chelate first (left) and second (right) pereopods shows that though they are both chelate, the chelae are very different from one another. Photo from the preserved specimen above.
This species has a short but well-developed rostrum but no prominent lateral spine close to the anterior end of the carapace. Photo of preserved specimen
