$ . Colour. Upper side of body blackish brown, mottled with 

 yellowish red ; terga with median and lateral yellow patch and 

 x-shaped yellow mark ; tail and chelae reddish brown with 

 black keels, fingers black ; vesicle reddish yellow, usually mottled 

 below with blackish grey ; legs mostly fuscous with yellowish-red 

 markings, paler towards the apex. Carapace for the most part 

 covered with granules, especially at the sides, the ocular tubercle 

 and the posterior half of the anteocular area, as well as the 

 portion of the upper surface on the inner side of the two crests 

 smooth ; a little longer than the 1st and 2nd caudal segments, to 

 about the same extent shorter than the 3rd and 4th, and about as 

 long as the 5th. Terga coarsely granular throughout, the granules 

 shining and separated from each other by very distinct, almost 

 smooth interspaces, from the 3rd to the 6th furnished on each 

 side with a larger marginal granule representing an incipient 

 lateral keel ; the last with four granular crests. Sterna smooth, 

 the last granular at the sides, not crested. Tail about four times as 

 long as the carapace ; the upper surface sparsely granular in the 

 middle, the granules showing a tendency to run into a pair of 

 converging longitudinal series ; sides of tail and keels coarsely 

 granular except the inferior median crests of the 1st segment, 

 which are smooth and obsolete ; median lateral crest present on 

 1st segment and extending throughout half the length of the 5th, 

 practically absent on the rest ; width of 1st about equal to length 

 of 4th, 2nd as wide as long; upper edges of 5th square and 

 coarsely granular ; lower keels of 5th denticulate, the median 

 posteriorly bifid ; anal border denticulate, with lateral bifid lobe ; 

 vesicle (see fig. 18, A) granular at the sides, smooth above and in 

 the middle line below ; piriform and subglobular, a little wider than 

 high, width equal to that of 4th segment, height exceeding that of 

 5th and more than half the length of the vesicle ; basal half of 

 aculeus slender, subcylindrical, much longer than thick, and marked 

 off from vesicle by a distinct constriction, so that when viewed from 

 the side the two do not pass continuously into each other. Chelae 

 with humerus, brachium,and underhand all shorter than carapace; 

 humerus coarsely granular and crested above and in front, less
