Diagnosis : — " A Pachycheles with the front almost straight, slightly convex in the 

 middle, depressed; carapace granular at the sides and with linear ridges on the branchio- 

 stegites; chelipeds unequal, the left the larger, the wrist and hand uniformly pubescent 

 and granular, the wrist with three rather blunt lobes on the inner edge, but without 

 teeth overhanging its articulation with the hand ; second to fourth pairs of legs not 

 so stout as in barbatus, the last three joints pubescent, the propodite armed with 

 spines above, the dactyle with spines below."
