Carapace smooth with the regions very faintly indicated and with 

 very few and faint traces of lobulation : sometimes a few lank hairs on 

 the antero-lateral border. 



The crest-like antero-lateral border is trenchant and somewhat 

 cockled, and is cut into 4 shallow scallops, the last two of which ar© 

 acuminate and carinate, and the first of which is confluent with the 

 orbit. Front slightly convex beyond the orbits and a little emarginate 

 in the middle line. Orbital border sharp with the suture lines faint 

 and indistinct.
