This shrimp is known from Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
In the females examined from southern Thailand, the rostrum curves downwards and slightly upwards again near the tip.
In southern Thailand, it inhabits shallow stream or wetland water among submerged bank-plant roots, typically over sand or mud.
In the observed living specimens, the body is translucent, with scattered blue stripes and dark spots on the cephalothorax and abdomen.
In the females examined from southern Thailand, the second leg is longer and more slender than the first.
