(From McLaughlin 1975: 363) “In life: Shield with broad black to blackish-green longitudinal stripes laterally, reddish-brown longitudinal median stripe. Ocular peduncles mottled light pink with brownish and greenish-black stripes; corneae deep pink; ocular acicles light pink. Antennular and antennal peduncles greenish or brownish-black; antennal flagella greenish-brown or black, interrupted every 36 articles by 1 white article. Chelipeds white with 2 dorsal longitudinal stripes of greenish or brownish-black continued onto carpi; lateral and mesial faces each with 1 or 2 similarly colored stripes. Ambulatory legs white with dorsal, lateral, mesial and ventral longitudinal stripes of greenish or brownish black and darker broad transverse band medially on each segment, lateral faces also with median longitudinal stripe of red or reddish-brown, occasionally greenish-brown. In preservative: greenish or brownish-black color of stripes turning to reddish-orange or orange and fading in time.”
