Carapace weakly punctate with low granulation, sparsely setose, not deeply pitted; rostrum acute, triangular, length about one-quarter distance from anterior tip to cervical groove, margin typically with 3 lateral spines, largest originating above eyestalk anterior to strong supraocular spine generally aligned with lateral gastric carina; lateral gastric carina armed with single strong postorbital spine and weak posterior elevation; submedian gastric carina (immediately to either side of median carina) multidentate, with typically 5 or 6 short acute teeth; median carina unarmed, postcervical median line with low, posterior median carina. Eye cornea darkly pigmented.
