Carapace distinctly wider than long, dorsal surface smooth, slightly convex, regions barely defined; gastric pits almost obsolete. Post-frontal lobules obsolete; median groove indistinct; fronto-orbital region width less than half maximum width of carapace. Branchial region markedly expanded laterally, moderately swollen; molting suture well distinct, ending between P4-P5 coxae. Frontal region strongly deflexed downwards. Supraorbital margin lined with small granules laterally. Subhepatic region smooth. Pterystogomial regions covered by short pubescence. Mxp3 merus subcircular, distinctly shorter than ischium, about 0.75 times its length; posteromesial border expanded mesially, grooved to receive folded dactylus, dentate. Opening of efferent branchial channel large; upper margin triangular in outline; channel closed ventrally by large lamellar scaphognathite. Epistome distinctly short, wide, deeply grooved transversally.
