All specimens from external surface of carapace and uropods of Axianassa australis in the intertidal zone; Cynthia Santos coll. Holotype (registration number: MZUSP 16462) and undissected paratypes (MZUSP 16463) deposited in Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo. Dissected paratypes in collection of Carlos E. F. Rocha (Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade de São Paulo).

Cephalosome and free prosomites pitted (Figs. 1 B, 10C), with sensilla pattern as shown in Fig. 1 A, and posterior borders smooth. Epimera of third and fourth pedigerous somites expanded posteriorly, lateral margins of epimera deeply serrate. Posterior margin of fourth pedigerous somite clearly incised medially. Urosome (Figs. 1 C, 2A, 10D) 5­segmented, comprising fifth pedigerous somite, genital doublesomite and 3 free abdominal somites. Hyaline frills of second to fourth urosomites deeply indented.

Genital double­somite (Figs. 1 C, 2A) slightly longer than broad, with 2 transverse rows of minute spinules and few sensilla on dorsal surface; densely covered with rows of spinules ventrally. Genital area (Fig. 1 C) located dorsolaterally on each side. Anal somite (Figs. 1 C, 2A–C) cleft medially, twice as wide as long, with pairs of setules and spinules on dorsal surface and row of strong spinules along posterior edge, both ventrally and laterally.
Caudal ramus (Figs. 2 A–C) slightly longer than wide and armed with 7 setae. Setae I and III bipinnate; setae IV and V strongly developed and bipinnate, seta V 3 times longer than seta IV; seta VI shortest; seta VII biarticulate at base and arising from minute dorsal pedestal, near inner posterior margin. Ramus with tiny spinules on inner margin and row of strong spinules along posterior margin ventrally.
Rostrum (Figs. 3 A, 10F) conspicuous only in ventral view, quadrangular.
Antennule (Figs. 3 A–C) 6­segmented. Segment 1 with spiniform, serrate, upwardcurved seta inserted on pedestal near posteroventral edge (arrowed in Figs. 3 B–C, 10E). Segment 2 longest. Segment 5 with aesthetasc fused basally to seta. Segment 6 with apical acrothek consisting of aesthetasc and 2 slender setae. Armature formula: 5, 13, 9, 4 + 1 aesthetasc, 2 + 1 aesthetasc, 7 + 1 aesthetasc.
Antenna (Figs. 3 D, 10F–G) 4­segmented. Segment 1 longest, with rows of setules along inner and outer margins; plumose seta and massive corrugated process (Fig. 10 H, arrowed in Figs. 3 D, 10G) on distal corner. Segment 2 unarmed, segment 3 with pinnate seta, large pedunculate sucker (Fig. 10 I), and flattened pinnate seta on distal edge. Segment 4 with row of fine spinules on outer corner; 4 geniculate setae at apex, two of them with setules terminally; 2 unipinnate subterminal outer setae, inner seta twice as long as outer.
Labrum (Fig. 4 A) conical, partly covering mandibles; rounded part with row of spinules.
Mandible (Figs. 4 A–B) consisting of elongate process bent 90° downward, with short subterminal spinules.
Maxillule (Figs. 4 A, 4C) 1­segmented, implanted on reinforced integumental area; armed with 1 lateral and 4 apical setae.
Maxilla (Figs. 4 A, 4D–E) 2­segmented. Segment 1 elongate, slightly narrower distally and with row of spinules posteriorly along crest. Segment 2 forming an elongate process directed towards mouth, distal part folded and lamellar.
Maxilliped absent.
Legs 1–4 (Fig. 5) biramous, with 3­segmented rami. Legs 2 and 3 differing only in size. Elements on coxa of legs 1–4 very variable; leg 1 (Fig. 5 A) with stiff bipinnate seta; legs 2 and 3 (Fig. 5 B) each with long plumose seta; leg 4 (Fig. 5 C) with short pinnate seta. Basis of legs 1–4 elongate, inserted on coxa at angle of about 45, with plumose seta at outer distal corner, and row of spinules along distal rim between exopod and endopod; outer and inner margins each with row of sparse setules. Leg 1 basis with slightly curved inner spine, this spine serrate along its outer margin. Inner and outer margins of exopods and endopods of legs 1–4 ornamented with setules and spines as shown in Figs. 5 A–C. Leg 4 endopod segment 3 with 2 thick inner setae ornamented with stiff setules on distal 2/ 3, proximal seta about 1.25 times longer than distal seta; apical seta stiff, serrate and reaching midlength of inner distal seta. Armature formula as follows (Roman numerals representing spines, Arabic numerals representing setae):
Leg 5 (Figs. 6 A–B, 10D) 2­segmented. Basal segment with long seta armed with minute sparse spinules; ventral surface spinulose and with subterminal row of spinules ending at base of seta. Terminal segment 10 times longer than wide, with oblique rows of spinules on ventral surface running toward insertion sites of outer spines, plus row of spinules at apex. Armature consisting of 4 bipinnate spines, each with terminal flagellum.
Leg 6 (Fig. 6 C) consisting of 3 small setae.

Labrum (Figs. 8 A, 8C) with 2 rows of stiff spinules medially.
Maxilla (Figs. 8 A, 9A, 11C) produced into crest and ornamented with rows of spinules along posterior and distal margin of segment 1. Segment 2 as in female.
Maxilliped (Figs. 8 A, 9B–C, 11C) 4­segmented. Segment 1with seta on inner margin. Segment 2 with row of denticles along anterior surface; seta and row of spinules on inner distal margin, and 1 lateral seta on posterior surface. Segment 3 reduced and unarmed. Segment 4 long and narrow, claw­like with plumose apical seta and 2 proximal short setae.
Leg 5 (Figs. 9 D–E) 2­segmented. Segment 1 partly fused to base, with 1 seta arising from pedestal. Terminal segment having 3 spiniform setae and 1 slender seta; and with rows of spinules ventrally at setal insertions.
Leg 6 (Fig. 9 E) represented by membranous opercular flaps, with spinules and 1 long seta.
Etymology. — The specific name is derived from the Tupi­Guarani word aisó, meaning comely.
