Serène, 1977
The front is not noticeably projecting. The carapace, chelipeds, sternal plastron and abdomen are smooth or granular or stippled but never sponge-like as in species of the sub-genus Actites. The ambulatory legs are never with cristiform carinae on their anterior and posterior margins; they are smooth or granular and sometimes nodular. The ambulatory legs are smooth, long and thin; the merus of P4 is more than three times longer than broad. The carapace surface is finely granular and has the same general aspect as other species of genus Liomera, but in adult males the extremity of the cheliped merus distinctly extends beyond the carapace margin. The first pleopod of the male terminates in a small apical rounded lobe, furnished at the base with a brush of 5-6 long straight, rigid plumose setae and arising from the same point on the lobe at its base.
