It counts with a setose carapace, an acute and carinate rostrum, and unarmed orbital hoods.

The species is named after Frédéric Fasquel, a photographer who contributed rare shrimp specimens for the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle.

Its carapace is smooth, possessing shallow grooves latero-anteriorly, and scattered setae dorsally.

Its pterygostomial angle is rounded, while its rostrum is well developed and descendant; its orbital hoods are inflated, lacking teeth.

Its corneas are well developed, while its eyes have small anterior processes, and its antennular peduncles are stout.
