Anterolateral border granular and rather sharp, very obscurely 

 divided into three most inconspicuous lobes, the first of which hardly 

 shows a trace of subdivision. 



Front not quite a fourth the greatest breadth of the carapace, 

 obliquely deflexed, emarginate and faintly grooved in the middle line, 

 its outer angles not separated from the supra-orbital margin. 



Chelipeds equal, the upper corner of the outer surface of the arm, 

 the upper and outer surfaces of the wrists and hands, closely covered 

 with little pearly granules like those on the antero-lateral parts of the 

 carapace. 



Legs stout : the upper edge of the merus and the dorsal surface of 

 the next two joints granular like the chelipeds, the dactylus hairy. 



Colours in spirit orange-yellow. 



In the Indian Museum are a male and female probably from 

 Karachi.

Carapace somewhat approaching the quadrilateral, strongly convex 

 fore-and-aft, little convex from side to side, smooth, without any indic- 

 ation of regions. 



Antero-lateral border moderately arched, entire; postero-lateral 

 border very moderately convergent, straight, about as long as the chord 

 of the antero-lateral ; posterior border long, — about half the greatest 

 width of the carapace in length, or more. 



Fronto-orbital border about half, front about quarter, the greatest 

 width of the carapace in extent. Front a little deflexed, broadly 

 bilobed. Orbital margin thin entire, the outer angle of orbit a little 

 thickened. Eyes on very short thick stalks. 



The antennules fold nearly transversely. Basal antennal joint very 

 short and broad, but passing up between the side of the front and the 

 inner angle of the orbit ; the flagellum, which is about as long as the 

 major diameter of the orbit, lodged in the orbital hiatus. 



Anterior edge of merus of external maxillipeds somewhat oblique. 



Chelipeds massive, equal iu both sexes, the fingers pointed. 



Legs subcylindrical, rather long, smooth. 



Abdomen of male five-jointed, the 3rd-5th somites fused.
