Antero-lateral margins short, much shorter than the postero-lateral ones. Exorbital angle with a small spine. Three antero-lateral spines, a little curved forwards. Subhepatic region covered with small tubercles, becoming acute near the lateral borders. Frontal margin only a little convex, with a median notch. Infraorbital margin with about seven spinules. In males larger cheliped much more stronger than the smaller; palm swollen, its outer surface with sparse pointed granules on the superior half, elsewhere smooth; palm of the small cheliped covered with tubercles on the whole outer surface. Ambulatory legs slender; superior margin of the merus armed with a distal spinule; in addition, on P2-P4, a subdistal spinule, and on P2 several other spinules; on P3 only one spinule visible; carpus of P2-P5 with a distal spinule.
