The body and the legs are slightly hairy. The 

 carapace has very marked striae. The gastric region has 

 small short spines upon the transverse line behind the 

 front ; the other regions are unarmed. The rostral points 

 are strong, slightly erect, and do not exceed the eyes. 

 The lateral edges have six spines, the iirst large, the 

 others small. The legs of the first pair are strong, and 

 in adult males they do not resemble each other. One 

 pincer is the strongest ; the fixed finger is notched at its 

 base ill such a way as not to be in contact at this part 

 with the opposing finger when closed. The extremity of 

 the finger is sharp and hooked ; that of the movable 

 finger passes on the outside that of the fixed finger. The 

 hand is compressed laterally and has some spines. The 

 fourth and fifth joint are spiny. The fingers of the 

 pincers of the other side are in contact along their whole 

 length when closed. The walking legs are short, strong.
