Carapace etc. covered with a short fur with long setae interspersed, the latter most numerous on the legs. Carapace subquadrilateral, flat in the posterior half or more, declivous anteriorly, the regions faintly marked, finely and sparsely granular. Front nearly two-fifths the greatest breadth of the carapace, not very prominent, divided into two lobes, each of which consists of a convex inner part and an independent though not very prominent external angle. The upper orbital margin is little prominent and has only one notch and that indistinct: outer orbital angle not prominent. Antero-lateral border very much shorter than the postero-lateral, cut into three sharp teeth: no subhepatic tooth. P1 unequal: inner angle of wrists sharply pronounced, upper and outer surfaces of hands granular. P2-5 slender, the longest pair are more than twice the length of the carapace. Colours in spirit, carapace reddish-yellow, legs yellow. (Alcock, 1898: 195)
