Diagnosis. Small, narrow. Maxillipeds do not reach epistorne; 

 merus anteriorly with a shallow, rounded emargination. Chelipeds 

 unequal in male. Dactyli of legs with four rows of spines. 



Description. Of smaller size than G. ruricola; sutures less deep; 

 branchial regions less swollen anteriorly, the widest part of the 

 carapace being in line with the antero-lateral angles of the meso- 

 gastric region, while in G. ruricola the widest part of the carapace 

 is considerably in advance of that point. 



Fronto-orbital width in the adult one-half or a little less than one- 

 half of the total width. Front broader, less deep and less retreating 

 than in the preceding species; it widens very little below, and its 

 inferior margin is slightly arcuate. Fronto-orbital rim obscurely 

 tuberculate.
