Short description Morphology
A moderately large to very large stomatopod. Body conspicuously flattened, smooth, lacking ridges or spines except for the tail region; 6th abdominal segment and telson; which is prickly with small bumps or tubercles. Telson with a raised, elongate boss medially, but without a median ridge. Rostral plate broader than long, with a low median crest on its anterior third. Claws very large, often longer than carapace and armed with 10 to 12 sharp spines on the terminal segment. Color: marked with light and dark cross bands (Ref. 436).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Some members of the order Stomatopoda pair for life and some come together only to mate. Males produce sperm ducts rather than spermatophores; females can brood a maximum of 50,000 eggs. Life cycle: Eggs hatch to a planktonic zoea which lasts for 3 months.
