Diagnosis : " A Xanthias with the carapace minutely granular, 

 clearly delimited into the areas characteristic of the genus ; the 

 antero-lateral edge on each side with four teeth, of which the first 

 two are very low and blunt and the last two somewhat sharper ; 

 the front fairly straight, rather deeply notched in the middle line, 

 and separated at its outer ends by shallow notches from the 

 swollen orbital rims ; chelipeds unequal, unlike, the larger with 

 the hand more swollen and the fingers less gaping than the smaller, 

 the wrist in both irregularly and coarsely rugose ; the hand covered 

 above and outside with fairly sharp conical tubercles, smooth 

 below and inside ; the cutting-edges of the fingers close set with 

 bluntish rounded teeth, which in the large hand almost entirely 

 fill up the gap between the fingers, but in the smaller leave a space 

 towards the base of the fingers, the outside of the fingers grooved ; 

 the walking-legs stout, with a strong fringe of hairs on the upper 

 edge, the last three joints hairy on the outside, the dactylopodite
