A. Milne Edwards, 1873
Carapace much more convex than in Epixanthus frontalis, the dorsal surface covered with very fine granules, which become thicker toward the frontal and antero-lateral borders, where also some rugae of granules or eroded facets formed by granules or rugae are found. The antero-lateral borders are divided into four very long lobules, none of which is markedly tooth-shaped. The wrist and palm are very roughened and the rugae or erosion found on the upper and outer surfaces are remarkable. (T. Sakai, 1939: 519)
