The carapace of this species is for the greater part smooth and naked, without indication 

 of regions, only the cervical groove being visible as a short, straight and shallow depression, 

 terminating at either end into a semi-lunar concavity, which is beset with very short hairs. 

 Similar hairs are found along the anterior and antero-lateral borders of the carapace and in 

 the long median sulcus parting from the anterior margin of the front; among these hairs, 

 at least near the suborbital and antero-lateral borders, numerous granules are freely scattered. 

 The greatest breadth of the carapace varies between 1.4 to nearly 1.5 times its length and 

 the fronto-orbital border is almost or quite exacdy as long as this length, so that the lateral 

 margins are conspicuously arched anteriorly. The external orbital angle is not prominent and 

 behind it we find two prominences on the lateral margins, which prominences vary rather 

 largely: sometimes they present the shape of two depressed teeth, the anterior somewhat larger
