Description
provided by World Register of Marine Species
Kim’s (2013) specimens are most similar to F. mangalis but differ from Fiers and Rutledge’s description in a number of characteristics, justifying their assignment to a distinct species: (a) cephalothorax not bilaterally incised, (b) caudal rami relatively shorter, (c) second antennulary segment ? without blunt process, (d) both exopod and endopod of P4 markedly less elongate, (e) ? P5 endopodal lobe with three setae and markedly shorter while exopod relatively more slender, and (f ) ? P5 rami without dense spinular ornamentation on anterior surface.
