Pseudorostrum short, obtuse, slightly upturned, antero-lateral tooth well 

 marked. Integument coarsely squamose. Carapace with depression median 

 in 9, nearer to the front in 6, longitudinal median carina and flanking 

 pair of carinae, the latter continued some w^ay along the body, while the median 

 carina is conspicuously upraised on the 4 free pedigerous segments and 

 first two of the pleon, the crest on the 2"^ (first free) pedigerous segment 

 being very high and acutely tipped in the 9 but lower and flat-topped
