Rostrum slightly deflexed or horizontal, with two short horns. Orbits complete and tubular, their roof formed by strongly expanded supraocular eave, intercalated spine and postocular cup, and their floor formed by postocular cup and broader basal antennal article. Intercalated spine present. Chelipeds rather robust; articles smooth. Ambulatory legs relatively long, unarmed, diminishing in length posteriorly. (Guinot 1998)
