. He distinguished it from other genera mainly by the male abdomen having all six somites and telson free, and the chelipeds being of similar size in both sexes. Not all the somites of the male abdomen are actually free, however, although some of the sutures separating them remain visible; somites 25 are actually immobile. Somites 2-4 have only a shallow and barely discernible suture separating each other; while the suture between somites 4 and 5 suture is complete, though immobile (
