Carapax very broad; proportion of length to breadth. 1:1.7. 

 Upper surface smooth, punctate, and perfectly flat except near the 

 deflected anterior margin, where it is somewhat rugulose, as if 

 slightly eroded. Two impressed lines or sulci on the gastric region, 

 which unite anteriorly and lead toward the frontal cmargination, 

 there becoming, however, shallow and nearly obsolete. The inter- 

 antennary front is rather narrow, not projecting, and slightly waved. 

 Teeth of antero-lateral margin nearly obsolete, even less prominent 

 than in P. planus; c(\g;c obtuse. Orbits and eyes very small. Chelo- 

 poda rather short and stout ; upper surface minutely and crowdedl\' 

 punctate; fingers 'short, black. Ambulatory feet hairy beneath; 

 dactyli thickly pubescent. Dimensions of a female : Lcngtii of cara-
