Median projection of the front pointed and slightly produced. Eye- 
stalks long and stout. Scales large, triangular. Acicles of antennze 
much shorter than the eye-stalks. Large hand semicircular; the inner 
margin of manus and dactyl straight. Behind the gape of the fingers 
is a very large and much elevated tubercle. Behind the tubercle are 
two deep depressions or pits. Outside of the tubercle are three or four 
tubercles of smaller size, giving the hand a deeply eroded appearance. 
The left hand is small. A deep depression occupies a part of the space 
behind the gape. The outer marginis tuberculate. The upper surface 
of both hands is coarsely granulate; granules elevated and much 
crowded.
