(after Judd & Perina 2013): The identification of the specimens from Barrow Island is based on that of Dalens (1993). The species is potentially widespread. Its principal diagnostic characters are: uropod exopodites long, extending beyond the uropod protopodite; flagellum of second antenna 3-segmented; noduli laterales present on pereonites; and epimera of pleonites 3–5 reduced. This species was collected from three sites in this study but is probably more widespread
