The carapace, which is about as long as broad, is convex in both directions, high in the middle, and pretty evenly rounded, covered with tine, close, yellowish hairs, beneath which it is white, nearly smooth, minutely punctate. Similar hairs cover the chelipeds; those of the other legs are longer. The narrow front is abruptly bent downward at tip ; it bears three small obtuse teeth standing equally spaced, forming a triangle, in a front view ; the inner orbital tooth is small and acute; the superior orbital is nearly as large and acute; the inferior orbital is similar to the frontal spines in size and form. There are four small, acute lateral spines, of which the first two are stouter, and divergent, the first a little larger; the 3d and 4th are strongly hooked forward at the tip and very acute. The carpus of the chelipeds has three distal, subspiniform angles, the. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been d
