The rostral projection is distinct and sharply pointed ; the 

 lateral frontal projections are less acute, but each ends in a 

 minute sharp point. The cervical groove is well marked ; the 

 hind margin of the carapace is rather less deeply concave than 

 in some of the previously described species. A few tufts of 

 fine setae are scattered on the dorsal surface of the carapace, 

 and are most noticeable on the parts behind the lateral frontal 

 projections. The abdomen is nearly twice as long as the 

 carapace ; the telson is as broad as long, with concave posterior 

 margin, and is furnished with an irregular row of fairly sharp 

 teeth. 



The peduncle of the antennules, when fully extended, is about 

 the same length as that of the antennae. The third joint is by 

 far the longest and is slightly thickened at its distal end. The 

 upper flagellum is distinctly longer than the third peduncular 

 joint and the thickened proximal portion bears a dense fringe 

 of setae on its lower side. There are from 32 to 35 joints 

 in the upper flagellum and 8 or 9 in the lower. 



The antennal scale reaches beyond the middle of the fifth 

 joint and is long, curved and slender, bearing groups of setae 

 on its inner margin. The second joint of the peduncle has a 

 sharp tooth on the inner side at the base of the scale ; the 

 projection on the outer side is unusually long, it reaches the 

 base of the fifth joint and bears a row of large teeth on its inner 

 edge. The third joint, which is not visible from above, bears 

 a strong spine at its inner distal angle. The fourth joint is stout 

 and cylindrical. The fifth is cylindrical, more slender than 

 the fourth and much longer. The flagellum is about three 

 and a half times the length of the carapace. 



The ophthalmic scales are narrow and sharp, concave on the 

 upper surface and with a small spine just below the apex. The 

 eyestalks are stout and cylindrical, dilated distally, and the 

 portion of the stalk which encroaches upon the cornea on its 

 dorsal side is small and sharply angulate. The cornea reaches 

 just beyond the base of the third peduncular joint of the an- 

 tennules. The eyestalks bear a few setae. 



The fingers of the chelipeds open and shut in a horizontal 

 plane ; the right is very much larger than the left and is about 

 two and a half times times the length of the carapace. The 

 merus of the larger limb has a blunt dorsal ridge and is prac- 

 tically smooth on all sides, except for a few very low transverse
