Description. — Body robust, pubescent, especially on carapace 

 and chelje, old examples almost hairless. Hairs persist on 

 fingers of large chelae. Carapace partly ovate, depressed, due 

 to bulging branchial regions. Carapace height about middle of 

 gastric region to point on sternum just before first peraeopods, 

 also at point of areola directly above sternum between second 

 peraeopods, and greatest carapace width at hepatic regions about 

 equal, though width at branchial regions greater. Cervical 

 groove deep, continuous on sides. Areola about half length 

 anterior carapace section, including rostrum. Latter long, broad, 

 reaches middle of fifth joint in antennal peduncle and end of 

 antennular peduncle, rarely slightly longer. Rostral surface 

 deeply concave, edges elevated and thickened, nearly straight, 

 very little converged toward marginal spines. Latter well de- 

 veloped, and long triangular acutely pointed acumen about one- 

 third length of entire rostrum, sometimes more or less. Post- 

 orbital ridges parallel, end in sharp spine in front. Carapace 

 surface finely punctate, finely granulate on sides in old examples 

 Sides spinose, some larger or smaller spines on hepatic region, 

 and few spines on branchial region just behind cervical groove, 

 one usuallv much enlarged. All these spines better developed
