(Alcock, 1898)
Closely resembles Actaea nodulosa White, but has the following difference:
1. in stead of pearly tubercles we find coarse conical tubercles or tooth-like spines with denticulated tops; and on the chelipeds and antero-lateral borders of the carapace are coarse serrated spines:
2. the front is broadly bilobed, the angles of the lobes being sharp:
3. the lobulation of the antero-lateral borders is irregular and indistinct:
4. the legs are thin and compressed, the dorsad border of the carpal and propodal joints forms a serrated crest, and the slightly granular sculpture of the upper surfaces of these joints and of the meropodites is concealed by a close short spongy growth of hair.
Colours in spirit yellow, fingers brown. (Alcock, 1898)
