Carapace (Figs. 2A, D, 3A) subpentagonal, divergent posteriorly, expanded laterally, 1.3 broader than length (mean CL/CW = 1.3±0.0, N = 31); surface densely covered with mushroom-like tubercles, irregularly pitted. Frontal region produced anteriorly, divided into 2 rounded lobes, with elongate cavity apically, upturned in frontal view (Figs. 2C, F, 3A). Postfrontal protuberance wide, sometimes demarcated from median keel (Figs. 2A, D, 3A). Median keel distinct, generally Y-shaped, weakly broadened posteriorly, forming straight longitudinal ridge which reaches midway to cardiac region, not demarcated from cardiac region, with pair of nostril-like postfrontal cavity aside (Figs. 2A, C, 3A). Anterolateral region moderately eroded, with distinct groove on surface; groove parallel to anterolateral carapace borders, deep, granule-lined generally on floor, sigmoid in dorsal view; anterior half continuous to postfrontal cavity, distinctly narrowed near hepatic region; posterior half deep, moderately broad (Figs. 2A, D, 3A). Hepatic region convex due to median protuberance (Fig. 2A, D). Subhepatic margin with low, broad protuberance (triangular facet), barely visible in dorsal view (Figs. 2B, E, 3A). Hepatic, anterolateral margins divided by shallow convcavity. Anterolateral margin slightly sinuous, indistinctly rimmed, separated from posterolateral margin with shallow indentation. Branchiostegal region densely covered with small flattened tubercles (Fig. 2B, E). Branchial regions moderately inflated, with 2 low nodules obliquely from anterior slope to summit, separated from posterior posterolateral margin by narrow or nearly closed groove (Figs. 2A, D, 3A). Posterolateral margin right-angled, rounded apically, nearly straight in anterior half, horizontal, bilobed in posterior half. Cardiac region low, covered with flattened tubercles indistinctly, separated from branchial, intestinal regions by deep, granule-lined groove of variable prominence (Figs. 2A, D, 3A, 4A). Intestinal region moderately elevated, granulate on surface. Posterior margin slightly convex, moderately rounded (Fig. 2A, B).
