The female chelae are similar to that of the males in form but weaker and relatively more slender. The abdomen is rounded, covering the entire thoracic sternum with all the somites free. The telson is broadly triangular with lateral margins gently sinuous but not contiguous with the margins of somite 6. There is no visible abdominal locking press-button structure. The vulvae are prominent, occupying most of anterior half of sternite 6, without visible sternal vulvar cover (
