Diagnosis. — Large, coarse. Hands broad, a single line of granules 

 above. Merus joints of legs less than twice as long as wide. 



Desci^ptioti. — A large species. Carapace distinctly broader than 

 long, diminishing a little in width from front to back, deeply 

 grooved; surface rough with pits and transverse ridges, which on 

 the anterior part are short and squamose, and which are in large 

 part furnished with tufts of hair. A short oblique ridge, not far 

 behind the antero-lateral angle, meets the lateral margin so as to 

 form a slight swelling w-hich is not a true tooth. 



Supra-frontal lobes deeply separated, the inner pair not much 

 wider than the outer pair. Front about six times as wide as high; 

 sides parallel, lower margin cut into two lobes very prominent in 

 dorsal view. Upper margin of orbit directed strongly backward and 

 outward, outer angle prominent.
