Right side thoracopods unmodified (= right–left asymmetry). Male claspers: palm with scale patch laterally; movable finger (endopod) base with small knob, anteriorly with band of minute setae; two prominent bumps/protrusions laterally between “palm” and exopod. Rostrum bicarinate, distal margin truncate with setal row and minor distolateral corners.</p><p>Female. Rostrum bicarinate and distally broadly rounded with marginal denticles, distolateral corners indistinct. Lamina abdominalis with three dorsal extensions and three marginal extensions.</p><p>Both sexes: Rostral shape broad. Head in lateral view smoothly curving with compound eyes on ocular tubercle; compound eyes smaller than frontal setal fields. Description</p><p>Male (holotype, 4.2 mm, Fig. 2; paratypes Figs. 1, 4, 6–9).</p><p>Length range. Mongolian material: 3.4–4.7 mm (based on 10 specimens). Chinese material: 4.3–5.2 (based on 10 specimens).</p><p>Head (Figs. 1A, B, 2B, C, E, 4A–C, E–H). Large, ~25–30% of body, rostrum extending to thoracopod I. Head in lateral view arcuate, evenly curving with region of compound eyes protruding on ocular tubercle. Dorsal organ oval, near occipital condyle. Frontal setal fields oval, distally narrower, with short, dense setation, frontal pore dorsal. Compound eyes subcircular, ~50% smaller than setal fields. Rostrum bicarinate, protruding distally between frontal setal fields. Carinae parallel in proximal half, diverging in distal half, each branch terminating near rostral apex, but not reaching it. Rostral apex truncate with distal transverse setal row, distolateral corners not projecting, denticles absent. Rostrum in anterior view broad with minor constriction approximately at second antennae insertion. Fornices present where rostral marginal rims bend anteriolaterally, from above second antenna insertion to distolateral corners. Rostral apex broad in lateral (and apical) view.</p><p>First antenna (Fig. 4E, G, K). With two antennomeres. Proximal antennomere short, about twice as long as broad. Distal antennomere cylindrical, length ~5x&gt; breadth, with numerous simple setae in two longitudinal rows.</p><p>Second antenna (Figs. 2B, C, 4C–G). Biramous, extending to around thoracopod IX. Peduncle proximal coxa with transverse row of ~4–5 long plumose setae ventrally and transverse row of ~4 short setae dorsally. Peduncle basis with 6–8 short setae dorsally. Exopod (anterior flagellum) with ~20–22 flagellomeres; short acute seta dorsally and long, plumose seta ventrally. Endopod (posterior flagellum) longer than exopod, with ~24–26 flagellomeres; long, plumose seta ventrally.</p><p>Labrum (Fig. 4G). Large, lobiform. With fine setae around apex and posteriorly. Minute setae in clusters of 1–3, most dense around apex.</p><p>Mandible (Fig. 4L–N). Molar surface with ~21–22 transverse ridges. Posteriormost three ridges broadly spaced. Distalmost ridge projecting as single spine, previous two ridges bispinose without ornamentation (maybe due to wear). Remaining ridges closely placed, bispinose with hamulate spines and anterior transverse rows of tubercles (see female description). Ridges broadest around mandible middle, decreasing in size anteriorly. Fine setae present anteriorly, longer ones in cluster near ridges, shorter ones scattered on anterior surface.</p><p>Paragnath. Posterior to maxilla I, posterior surface covered with fine setae.</p><p>Maxilla I. Elongate, distally semicircular. Posterior surface covered with fine setae. Medially with ~10 long plumose setae, distalmost surface with 2–3 short robust setae with denticulae.</p><p>Maxilla II. Absent.</p><p>Carapace (Figs. 1C, 2A–D, G, 4A, C). Shape subspherical, longer than broad, smooth, without ornamentation. Rounded anteriorly (near attachment of adductor muscle), more arcuate posteriorly. Ducts of maxillary gland transversely surrounding adductor muscle. Oval in dorsal and ventral view, dorsally with depression at attachment site. [Open space around the body within the carapace on SEM images (Figs. 4A, 5A) is likely an artefact of drying].</p><p>Thoracopods (Figs. 6–9). 10 pairs, becoming smaller from anterior to posterior. First pair modified as claspers, left side thoracopods III– VI modified (see further below).</p><p>Thoracopod I (clasper limb) (Figs. 6, 8A, B, 9A): claspers equal in size and shape, with parts as typical for Lynceus present: endite 3 = “palm” with “gripping area”, endite 4 = small palp, endite 5 = large palp, and endopod = “movable finger”.

Distal half with 3–4 long setae, some setae distally with bipectinate setulae; margined with&gt;25 long (varying length), simple setae without setulae. Endite 5 (large palp) around twice as long as endite 4, clavate, becoming broader towards apex; long simple setae at apex (a few with setules) extending in dorsal sulcus; dorsal setae (&gt;20) decreasing in size towards termination of sulcus (near palp basis). Endopod (movable finger) digitiform, curved; tapering towards apex, extending to proximal margin of endite 3 (gripping area); anterior side distal half with elongate band of minute setae clustering together 1–4 (Fig. 6D, G). Lateral part between palm and exopod bilobed with two prominent protrusions, basal width ~3x&gt; medial length (Figs. 8A, B, 9A, B). Exopod proximal lobe broadly oval, distal lobe elongate with acute apex, both with long setae along margin, either simple or with setules. Epipod elongate, lacking setation.</p><p>Thoracopod II (Fig. 8C): not modified, typical for genus (see Olesen et al., 2016; Sigvardt et al., 2019) however, endite 2 and 3 elongate rounded and epipod relatively long.</p><p>Thoracopods III and IV (Fig. 8D, E): left side modified with muscular bases enlarged. Exopod proximal part and epipod long. Remaining parts and right side typical for genus (Fig. 9C, D).</p><p>Thoracopod V (Figs. 7A, B, 8F): left side modified with muscular basis enlarged. Endites 4 and 5 adjacent. Endopod explanate, proximally with stout lobiform structure extending posteriorly, setation as follows: dorsally stout setae increasing in length towards apex, ventrally long filiform setae. Exopod distal lobe biramal (Fig.8F), with lateral major part explanate, subquadrate with lateral margin undulating, setae absent; medial minor part triangular with setae distally. Remaining parts and right side typical for genus (Fig. 9E).</p><p>Thoracopod VI (Figs. 7C–H, 8G): left side highly modified with: (1) heavily enlarged musculature extending from basis to near apex (Fig. 8G), (2) endopod broadly lobiform, together with endite 4 and 5 directed posteriorly (on limb posterior side) (Figs. 7D, F), (3) exopod distal part transversely lamelliform, densely covered with robust setae tapering towards apex (Fig. 7C, D, H), few (~8) longer setae with setulae distally along margin (Fig. 7H). Exopod proximal part a large semicircular lamella with ~7 lobiform processes with deep invaginations between them (Figs. 7C, 8G); proximally with cluster of 5–6 long setae with setulae, posterior surface covered with robust elongate setae (Fig. 7D, E), anterior surface and margin lacking setation. Right side thoracopod VI typical for genus (Fig. 9F).</p><p>Thoracopods VII–X (Figs. 8H–K, 9G–J): left and right side typical for genus.</p><p>Unmodified structures of thoracopods II–X (Figs. 8, 9): endite 1 lamelliform, elongate, dorsal margin with multiple long setae, apex with ~3 pectinate stout spines, ventral margin with short setae and a single long prominent seta. Endite 2 transversely broad, with different setal types along margin, some long, slender with setules at distal half, others short, robust, without setulae. Endite 3 similar to endite 2, however less transversely broad. Endite 4 broadly digitiform, margin with ~6 prominent setae together with other setae of varying length. Endite 5 and endopod similar to endite 4, but distally with characteristic stout setae, distally pectinate serrate. Towards posterior thoracopods, all endites and endopod become of more similar shape. Epipod long, slender, without setation, present in thoracopods I–VIII.
