 vesicle and mandible yellow. Upper side of trunk granular and

 longer than wide, 4th twice, 5th rather more than three times as 

 long as wide ; superior keels posteriorly depressed, not spiniform ; 

 vesicle large, its height equal to its width, its width equal to that of 

 the 2nd segment of the tail. Chelae granular ; brachium shorter than 

 carapace, with granular crests, its anterior surface armed basally 

 with two strong spiniform teeth : 7 setal pores on lower side 

 of brachium : crests on hand granular, the crests much stronger 

 than in S. leptocliirus, the granulation of the intercarpal spaces 

 much weaker than in S. crassimanus ; outer finger-keel on hand 

 very strong ; keel running along inner edge of upper side of hand 

 also strong and beaded, but not projecting so far as the upper crest 

 of the inner surface ; underhand with curved series of 3 normal 

 large setal pores and three smaller ones, one between 1st and 2nd 

 and two beyond 2nd along inner edge of keel : width of hand about 

 two-thirds the length of the underhand, the latter about as long 

 as the movable finger and a little shorter than carapace ; fingers 

 strongly and mesially lobate and sinuate; 7 teeth on outer series 

 as far back as lobe, 4 on inner series at distal end. Pcctinal 

 teeth 5-7.

 vesicle is more inflated, the height and width being almost equal to 

 width of 1st caudal segment, and the tail itself a little longer.
