Tozeuma cornutum

Description
Similar to other species in the genus Tozeuma, T. cornutum has an elongated, slender body with an extended rostrum that is 1.1 to 1.3 times longer than its carapace. The rostrum is smooth, with 7 to 11 teeth along the ventral margin. T. cornutum can be distinguished from similar species of Tozeuma in the western Atlantic by a dorsal hook projecting from its third abdominal segment.
