granulute. H-form depression very shallow. Front about one-third 

 the anterior width of the carapace, edge scarcely visible in dorsal 

 view, eyebrow partly visible. Upper margin of orbit very sinuous 

 and oblique. Antero-lateral angles almost rectangular. Lateral 

 margins for the most part convex, slightly sinuous posteriorly; 

 typically they slope outward a little from the orbital angle, so that 

 the carapace is widest behind that angle, but such is not always the 

 case, as one side may slope out and the other in. 



Arm of large cheliped of male granulate-rugose; wrist and hand 

 coarsely granulate, granules on the latter increasing in size above. 

 Surface of the palm strongly bent over above, a longitudinal sulcus at 

 the bend. Inner face with a tuberculated zigzag ridge across the 

 middle; a small area of fine granules on the upper half. Fingers 

 one and one-third times as long as palm; prehensile tubercles of 

 pollex coarser than those of dactylus, which has, however, se\eral 

 large tubercles. For the rest, much as in V. pugnax.

Diagnosis. — Carapace strongly narrowed behind. Oblique ridge 

 inside palm continued to upper margin. Short sulcus outside palm 

 at base of thumb. 



Description. — Convexity moderate. H-form depression shallow; 

 sulcus behind the orbit deep. 



Front about one-third Avidth of carapace. Orbits very oblique, 

 slightly sinuous. Sides strongly converging, sinuous; carapace 

 widest at antero-lateral angles, which are subacute.
