Known from the lake district of central Turkey, this amphipod lives near lake shores.
The second antenna of adult males is very slender and sparsely setose.
It usually occurs in lake littoral zones where sodium levels are relatively high.
The third and fourth legs of adult males are also very sparsely setose.
In adults, the dorsal projections vary in height; some specimens from Lake Dinar Karakugu at Pinarbasi have virtually no projections.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
