It counts with a setose carapace, an acute rostrum, shallow adrostral furrows and a basicerite with a strong ventrolateral tooth.

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

[1] The surface of each somite on its abdomen bears conspicuous setae that are proximal to its dorsoposterior margin.

The antennal and antennular peduncles are orange-red, while its mouthparts are mostly found to be colourless, except for the palp and caridean lobe of its first maxilliped, which are reddish.

[1] The shrimp is thought to spend most of the time in burrows and not interacting with other species, as observed with specimens in aquariums.
