Description
Length of carapace about two-thirds its breadth and equal to the extent of the fronto-orbital border. Anterolateral border arched, without spines, though when completely denuded they are granular and show faint but quite distinguishable traces of division into two lobules besides the orbital angle. Chelipeds less than twice the length of the carapace and shorter than the legs, unarmed except for an indistinct blunt tooth near the far end of the upper border of arm. Inner angle of wrist dentiform. Legs unarmed.
