B) ovoid; 1.32 times broader than long; convex in both directions. Regions moderately distinct but separated by broad, shallow depressions; 3M moderately well separated from 2M; 2M not partially longitudinally divided; urogastric, cardiac, intestinal regions defined laterally by moderately deep sinuous grooves, but not clearly divided transversely from each other; large sub-triangular region (6L) present on inner part of mesobranchial area lateral to gastro-cardiac region, but demarcated only by low depressions, connected at inner posterior end with rest of mesobranchial region; similar but smaller, narrower subtriangular region on metabranchial area adjacent to intestinal region; lateral hepatic and epibranchial grooves broadly indicated. Carapace surface mostly smooth, finely punctate, except 5 or 6 small sharp spines on anterior part of 2M and anterolaterally on 1L, 3L; longitudinal row of 4 spines on narrow part of 3 M, transverse row across posterior part of 3M, and across cardiac region (1P); other regions with 1 or 2 short spines; spines do not project through tomentum which forms thick covering over entire dorsal surface, dorsally obscuring presence of anterolateral teeth. Anterolateral margins strongly convex, divided into 10 broad teeth, including outer orbital angle; first 9 of similar shape and size, sub-triangular to somewhat truncated, each distally armed with 24 accessory spinules on either side of slightly more prominent apical spine; tenth smaller, situated on posterolateral border, followed posteriorly by row of variously sized small sharp spines, with last most prominent and directed slightly forwards. Posterolateral margins strongly convergent posteriorly. Front 0.2 times carapace width; moderately projecting, medially tri-lobed, lateral lobes broad, armed with small sharp spines, medial lobe on lower level, projecting upwards as short spine (tip broken); deep pre-orbital concavity for antenna. Upper orbital border armed with row of prominent, small, sharp spines clustered particularly on inner lateral margin. Inner angle of lower orbital border formed by a spine-tipped triangular tooth; narrow V-shaped notch laterally. Antennal flagellum very long, not entering orbit, peduncle with long setae on inner distal edge of last 2 articles. Basal antennal segment distally armed with spines.

Outer surface of palm microscopically granular, but armed with 6 distinct, evenly spaced transverse rows of pointed granules that increase in size to become short spines across upper face; thick tomentum obscures dorsal spinous rows; superior border similarly armed with row of sharp spines with distal-most spine largest; palm high, 0.55 times length including fixed finger. Inner surface of palm microscopically granular. Immovable finger with ventral and medial ridge; moderately long. Ventral border of chela concave at base of fixed finger.
