The 2nd and 3rd pairs of legs on both sides reach beyond the tips of 

 the chelipeds : the anterior edge of the carpus and propodite of the 2nd pair 

 is spinose. 



Colours in spirit : yellowish brown or yellow : when they are denuded of 

 setae, copious pink markings are seen on the carapace, chelipeds and legs. 



Length of carapace 8 millim. The eggs are relatively large, their major 

 diameter being three-fourths of a millimetre.

This little species very closely resembles P. incomitatus at all points, but 

 differs in the following particulars : — 



The carapace is less elongate, its breadth across the branchial regions 

 being about four-fifths of its length ; it is also less tomentose, and its antennal 

 angles are not acute. 



The eyestalks are very much longer : they are longer than the front 

 border of the carapace and than the antennular peduncles. 



The antennal acicle is not so broad, and even when the setae are not 

 removed it can be seen to be spinose on both borders. 



In the chelipeds the spines along the inner border of the carpus and 

 propodite are coarser, and there are some spinules on the upper border of 

 the merus at its far end.
