A flat obtuse tooth occurs near the middle of the upper border 

 of the orbit — but there is no outer orbital spine. The suborbital 

 lobe is well defined and dentiform. 



The antero-lateral borders of the carapace are cut into four 

 prominent acute teeth. The flrst, which is the smallest, is situate 

 on the hepatic region, on the same level as the suborbital angle. 

 The others are on the true lateral margin, the distance between 

 the second and third being only about two-thirds of that between 

 the third and fourth. The fourth is slightly nearer the median 

 line of the carapace than the third. There is a small tooth or 

 tubercle between the tirst of the above mentioned teeth and the 

 endostome. 



The hand is somewhat long and longitudinally ridged on its 

 -outer surface, but it is not nodular. There are two strong 

 tubercles on the wrist. 



The first two pairs of ambulatory legs bear strong nodulations 

 on their carpus and propodos, the last two pairs are short and 

 flattened, and only obscurely nodular, and alternating in length 

 on either side. The dactyli are short and curved.
