Chelae large, palm very short, fingers long, armed with ectal setae and 16 - 18 long pointed endal teeth. Palp segments short, fourth and fifth subequal, armed with many long setae. Ovigers with very long distally swollen and setose fifth segment. Terminal claw short, with 3 endal teeth. Legs moderately short, tibiae with many long setae.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the class Pycnogonida are gonochoric and sexually dimorphic. During copulation, male usually suspends itself beneath the female. Fertilization occurs as the eggs leave the female's ovigers. Males brood the egg masses until they hatch. Life cycle: Eggs hatch into protonymphon larva then to adults.
