Carapax vix areolatus, partim subtilissime* pubescens, lateribus convexis, 

 sive non dentatis sive obsolete 23-dentatis, fronte denticulate, dentibus 

 acutis fere cequis. Pedes antici multo granulati, digitis nigris, valde 

 scabris. Pedes 8 postici hirsuti. 



Carapax hardly at all areolated, in part having an exceedingly short 

 pubescence, sides convex, either not dentate or with two or three 

 obsolescent dentations, front rather evenly denticulate, the teeth 

 acute. Anterior feet much granulous, fingers black, scabrous. 

 Posterior eight feet hirsute.

Length and breadth of carapax of a male, each five lines. The 

 teeth of the front margin are six in number, with an intermediate 

 smaller one in one or two of the intervals. On the lateral margin 

 towards the middle there are two obsolescent teeth. The granules of 

 the hand are very closely set, and in two lines are somewhat seriate 

 and more raised. The hand is rounded above; one of the specimens 

 is a female, with eggs beneath the abdomen. The smaller hand has 

 rather slender fingers, and they are in contact. The male abdomen 

 appears to be five-jointed.
