==Characteristics== Mantis shrimps in this family can be distinguished by the fact that the dorsal surface is rough and covered in tubercles, the exopod (outer branch) of the uropod (fan-like sixth abdominal segment appendage) is fully articulated and the telson (terminal segment) is wider than it is long. The fifth abdominal segment bears no posteriorly directed median spine.
