The carapace is relatively smaller and smoothly arched dorsally and the peduncle of the uropod is shorter and stouter. Length Adult male 5,8-7,2 mm Ovigerous female 4,5-7,7 mm Remarks The only other species of Bodotria totally lacking lateral carinae on the carapace are B. choprai Kurian, 1951, from India, B. magna Zimmer, 1921, from South West Africa and B. laevigata LeLoeuff & Intes (in press), from west Africa.
