Diagnosis.
Moderately tuberculated
Glypturus
; lateral tuberculation on outer side of propodus extending from near base of fixed finger diagonally to lower margin and reaching proximal lower corner; lateral tuberculation on inner side of the propodus restricted mainly to area of articulation with dactylus in small specimens, but covering [central portion of inner side of manus in large specimens.] (modified from Hy̆zńy

Occurrence.
This species is known from the upper Miocene Gatun Formation in
Panama
(Supplemental

).
Description.
Manus
length exceeding height (length/ height ratio ~1.1). Upper margin converging distally, proximally keeled, bearing three prominent spines pointing distally, proximalmost spine around mid-margin, keel terminating in blunt corner. Lower margin sharp and keeled, in larger specimens denticulate, lined with a row of setal pits on inner lateral side. Proximal margin convex on outer face, concave on inner, [heightwise groove near proximal margin concave on inner side, concave to straight on outer side]. Distal margin weakly convex. Lateral tuberculation on outer side from base of fixed finger diagonally to lower margin and proximal lower corner. Lateral tuberculation on inner side of propodus restricted mainly to area of articulation with dactylus in small specimens, but covering [central portion of inner side of manus in large specimens]. Fixed finger triangular, sharply pointed, with distinct blunt tooth on occlusal margin around mid-length, tooth pointing distally. Dactylus stout, occlusal margin [with or] without tooth [around mid-length], tip hooked (modified from Hy̆zńy
et al.
