This species is more slender in all its parts than any others of the genus. The front of the 
carapace is wide and short, with five teeth on each side, the last of which is much produced. Like 
many other crustacea long known as Mediterranean, this Portunus has been tardily discovered as 
an inhabitant of our shores.
