Antero- and postero-lateral margins clearly demarcated. Antero-lateral margins usually lamelliform, with four teeth, the first three sharp to truncate, the last well developed, sharp. Frontal margin short, not strongly deflexed downwards. Chelipeds granular to rugose; carpus usually without spine or distinct tubercle on inner angle; chela elongated; fingers not carinate. Ambulatory legs: dorsal margin of merus lined with granules or spinules, not cristate; dactylus of P2 elongated, very slender. (Guinot 1998)
