I; Coelho & Coelho 1998: fig. 7d). G2, female pleon, thorax, vulvae undescribed.
Remarks
. Although no material of this species was examined, the description of the species by Coelho & Coelho (1998) leaves little doubt that it is indeed a separate species on account of its setose carapace and pereiopods and tooth on the inner margin of cheliped merus (
Fig. 3
G; Coelho & Coelho 1998: fig. 5).
Distribution
