NAME.To emphasize the type locality; a noun in apposition.

DIAGNOSIS. Differs from congeners by the body being composed of 20 body rings ( Figs 31–33 View Figs 31–33 ), coupled with a slender unipartite gonotelopodite, the sole branch of which is long, slender, rather regularly curved cephalad and carries a mesal denticle at distal third; a solenomere is wanting, the seminal groove (sg) being relatively short and terminating near a basal tooth (t) ( Figs 34–36 View Figs 34–36 ).

DESCRIPTION. Length ca 12 mm, width of midbody proand metazonae 1.1 and 2.0 mm, respectively (♂). Colouration in alcohol uniformly light pinkish brown with lighter venter and legs ( Figs 31–33 View Figs 31–33 ). Body with 20 segments. Antennae medium-sized, slender ( Figs 31–33 View Figs 31–33 ), in situ reaching past ring 3 dorsally (♂).

In width, collum <head <ring 2 <3 <4 <5=15, thereafter body gradually tapering towards telson ( Figs 31–33 View Figs 31–33 ). Paraterga starting with collum, mostly subhorizontal to slightly upturned, leaving dorsum largely only slightly convex to subhorizontal.

Gonopods ( Figs 34–36 View Figs 34–36 ) with moderately large and roundish coxites (cx) about as high as telopodites (te), and a shallow gonocoel; each cx with two strong distolateral setae and a usual, strongly unciform cannula (ca) at base. Telopodite (te) basically unipartite, with a single, long, acuminate, mesal branch (mb) rather regularly curved cephalad and carrying a mesal denticle at distal one-third; a prominent, subovoid, mesal lobe (lo) near base of mb and a sharp basal tooth (t) terminating a short and curved seminal groove (sg), the latter being totally devoid of a solenomere.
