Guérin-Méneville, 1831
It is characteristic in having the carapace, chelipeds and ambulatory legs clothed with a thick woolly tomentum. The carapace is rather well calcified and almost flattened for its posterior 2/3 of the dorsal surface, with the gastric and cardiac regions faintly demarcated. The lateral margins of the carapace are rigid; the antero-lateral margin is widely divergent toward the more or less angulated median part; the lateral angle of the carapace is also weakly produced; the postero-lateral margin is only weakly convergent and shallowly concave in the middle.
