The eye-stalks are of moderate length, salient, and almost immov¬ 
able. 
The buccal orifice is large, and the external maxillipeds are orna¬ 
mented with lines of fine sharp-cut granulation : their merus is as broad 
as the ischium, and is excavated near the middle for the insertion of the 
palp. The chelipeds, in the male, are somewhat longer than the cara¬ 
pace and rostrum : their ischium, merus, and carpus are ornamented 
with lines of fine sharp granulation : the palms are elongate and com¬ 
pressed, with the edges carinate: the fingers, which are less than half 
the length of the palm, are compressed and curved. 
The ambulatory legs, which decrease in length gradually, have 
their bases and meropodites granular, and the dactyli very slender. 
The length of the carapace of the largest specimen—a male—is 
9 millim., of an egg-laden female 6 millim. 
From off the Andamans at about 100 fathoms, and off Ceylon at 
32 to 34 fathoms.

Carapace ovate-triangular. Rostrum short, bifid, with the lobes 
approximate. Eyes of moderate length, retractile against a strong post¬ 
ocular process which affords no concealment. Basal antennal joint 
narrow, a little curved, anteriorly bidentate, one tooth placed behind the 
other ; mobile part of the antennae exposed. External maxillipeds with 
the merus as broad as the ischium, completely covering the mouth. 
Chelipeds of moderate size. Ambulatory legs short, prehensile, with 
slender dactyR which in length are equal to their propodites, and are 
retractile against the latter. Abdomen of the female consisting of five 
segments.

Carapace ovate-triangular, with the gastric and cardiac regions 
distinct and elevated. Rostrum short, emarginate. Pre-ocular spine 
large and coarse, post-ocular spine very prominent. A tubercle on the 
cardiac region, and a large epibranchial spine on either side of it. 
Basal antennal joint narrow throughout, and bearing two spines 
anteriorly—one at the antero-external angle, visible from above, and 
comparable in size to one of the rostral teeth — and one behind this, 
immediately in front of the base of the eye-stalk. Eyes slender and
