Carapax transverse, the antero-lateral margin shorter than the pos- 

 terolateral. First joint of outer antennae not reaching to the front, 

 as in Pseudocarcinus. Praelabial area divided throughout by a ridge, 

 as in Ozius. Fingers pointed. 



The species have the outer antennae of Pseudocarcinus, and the 

 praelabial area of Ozius. The following, here described, have a de- 

 pressed or nearly flat back, and smooth surface.
