Length of carapax of a male to tip of beak, two inches ; breadth, 

 also two inches. Finely reticulated with a reddish-orange colour, legs 

 yellow, or orange. The regions in this species may be distinguished, 

 although not very apparent. The medial is a little raised, and the 

 infra-medial (3 M), is distinct from the extra-medial (2 M) ; this intra- 

 medial is prolonged somewhat backward and has a linear scar either 

 side of it, and from near the posterior part of this scar a depression 

 commences which passes obliquely towards the margin, reaching it 

 between two of the prominent points of the lateral margin, — the me- 

 dian one of the lateral margin and the next posterior. This depres- 

 sion is the limit between the antero-lateral and postero-lateral regions, 

 and the posterior of the points on the margin is therefore S ; anterior 

 to it there are four prominences, corresponding to T, N, E, D, making 

 the normal number five, each of which lobes is set with spinules.
