The following description was prepared by Mr. A. R. 

 McCulloch :- 



"All parts except the tips of the fingers and dactyli are 

 thickly covered with tomentum. 



' ' The carapace is much broader than long, and is convex. 

 The tomentum forms pits and strong ridges, which define 

 the regions very clearly, but when it is cleaned away they 

 become less conspicuous. There is a row of small circular 

 pits starting from between the second and third teeth of 

 the anterolateral borders and stretching obliquely forwards, 

 meeting between the orbits. These pits cannot be seen at 

 all when the tomentum is taken off, but there is a distinct 

 but flat ridge which they follow. The front is cut into 

 three teeth, the centre one being very small, acute, and on 

 a much lower plane than the two outer ones, which are 

 large, obtuse and form the inner supra-orbital angle. There 

 is a deep, or well-marked, median groove between these 

 teeth.
