margin of the outer spine or tooth of the orbit, the lateral margin of 

 the carapace is arcuate, exclusive of the antero-lateral spine; the 

 postero-lateral margin is nearly straight. The antero-lateral spine 

 does not interrupt the general curve of the margin and projects side- 

 ways very little, if at all, beyond the line of that curve. 



While the general character of the frontal outline is similar to 

 that of the species described above, it differs from washhumei and 

 eugene7isis in this, that the outer of the two narrow sinuses reaches 

 further backward than the inner, while in the other three species, 

 the reverse is true. The tips of all the spines are wanting; the two 

 outer spines incline toward the cylindrical, the outer one having a

small spine on its inner slope. The rostrum is broad and apparently 

 shorter than the outer spines and is flanked on either side by a smaller 

 tooth bordering the sinus. 



Cheliped elongate, reaching considerably beyond the carapace; 

 surface covered with scabrous granules which are rougher on manus 

 than on merus. Apparently a spine has been broken from the upper 

 margin of the manus at its distal third. 



This species can always be distinguished by the ornamentation of 

 the carapace, consisting of punctae and fine granules in combination.

 of front and orbits 20 mm. ; length of upper margin of palm 13 mm.
