Carpus very short, cup-shaped; dorsal surface strongly constricted near base. Chela stout, subequal in length to carapace, 3 times as long as wide. Palm 1.8 times as long as wide; dorsal face generally smooth, rounded transversely, with deep transverse constriction near articulation with dactylus; ventral face with shallow, broad longitudinal groove along midline, fitting ventral face of merus when chela carried folded; fingers somewhat twisted, gaping when closed, tips touching, but not strongly crossing. Pollex strongly deflexed at distal to base, distal part strongly hooked, terminating in blunt apex; occlusal margin of dactylus longitudinally grooved, flanked by generally convex ridges. Dactylus noticeably curved, terminating in blunt apex; upper surface carinate along extensor margin; occlusal margin with bulge-like ridge along proximal 0.7, terminating distally in blunt point, fitting to groove on pollex, distal 0.3 of occlusal margin unarmed.
