 sharply pointed at inner angle. 



Chelipecls of male unequal, right one large, manus bicristatc above, 

 outer surface granulate, lower margin convex; immovable finger 

 slightly deflexed, its length less than width of manus. 



Merus of first ambulatory terminating in a large, blunt tooth, of 

 second and third armed on anterior margin with four or five curved, 

 more or less spiniform denticles; terminal tooth large, subacute; 

 posterior margin spinulous; upper surface covered with squamose 

 granules; lobes on carpus small, but distinct; dactyli slender, poste- 

 rior margin concave. Posterior margin of propodus and proximal 

 half of dactylus clothed with shaggy hair in mature male. 



Crests on first two abdominal segments of male trilobate and sub- 

 parallel in dorsal view, the first the wider; third segment with lobe 

 each side of middle, partially visible in dorsal view. Crest on fifth 

 sternal segment, or that between bases of third legs, about half as 

 wide as second abdominal segment, its posterior margin sinuous.
