 prominent, distinctly marked off from the proto-gastric, meso- 

 gastric prolonged to a point between the latter, the grooves 

 defining it prolonged backwards to join the branchio-gastric 

 groove ; gastric region well separated from the cardiac. Front 

 four-lobed, the outer lobes very small. Antero-lateral borders 

 divided into four teeth. Chelipedes sub-equal, ornamented with 

 a few scattered punctations. Carapace light brown with darker
