Le seul spécimen connu de cette crevette a une longueur totale de 15 mm. Sur ce spécimen de sexe supposé femelle, le rostre est faiblement dirigé vers le bas avec 10 dents dorsales et 1 dent ventrale sub-distale. Les épines antennaire et ptérygostomienne sont bien développées. Il existe une courbure du bord ventral de la carapace au niveau de la troisième paire de pattes. Le 4e pleurite abdominal possède une petite dent postéro-ventrale et le 5e possède 2 dents. Les deux premières paires de pattes ont un épipodite et sont munies d'une pince ; la première pince est plus courte mais plus forte que la seconde. La couleur de cette espèce est inconnnue.
Détermination et espèces proches.
L'identification de l'espèce est délicate.
Biologie-éthologie.
Cette crevette semble être benthique ; sa biologie est inconnue ; elle pourrait être commensale de coraux profonds.
Écologie et distribution.
Cette espèce a été récoltée dans le Canal de Corse, à 5,45 milles dans le 285 du Cap Trattoja, au sud-ouest de l'île Capraia, à -450 m de profondeur parmi des coraux profonds morts et vivants, principalement de l'espèce Madrepora oculata.

The map presents a summary at the 10 x 10 km grid of the observation data for the species transmitted to the SINP. These data have been subjected to validation filters.

Current distribution in metropolitan France
The map presents a reference distribution layer of the species at the scale of departments and marine sectors. The presence and absence data were established by expertise within a network of partners. This reference distribution is used in the validation process of the SINP data at the INPN level.

Certain presence
Corresponds to a report on the basis of at least one observation proved within a period of 10 years (20 years for little-known invertebrates) preceding the year and no presumption of extinction since obtaining the last data nor doubt on reproductive and implemented nature of this population. For migratory species, the presence indicated concerns areas of reproduction.
Probable presence
This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
search of species incomplete but presence of supportive environments;
ecology of the species consistent with the hypothesis of his presence;
the last reliable sighting is older than 10 years compared to the reference date, no recent specific research and no presumption of extinction from that date [vertebrates, invertebrates and plants well studied (rhopalocera, grasshoppers, dragonflies ...)] ;
the last reliable observation being older than 20 years, no recent specific research and no presumption of extinction from that date [poorly known taxa: fungus, many invertebrates...].
Probable or certain absence
This point covers the absence, more difficult by nature to demonstrate than presence. This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
intensive but unsuccessful targeted research;
lack of adequate environments;
unobserved species while its presence is easily detected;
unlikely presence for historical or biogeographical reasons.
This status must be assigned to a department in which the presence of the species is casual.
Absence due to a proven extinction
Particular case of absence due to a proven extinction less than a half century ago (older disappearances are treated as "no probable or definite").
No information
In the state of knowledge, we can not comment on the presence or absence in the current department. This is the default status when not comprised in one of the previous categories or whenever there is doubt.
