was described as a distinct Brazilian species on account of the arched, curved fingers of the major chela of large males. In these large males, the gap between the arched fingers is wide and the pollex is armed with two teeth (Coelho &amp; Coelho 1998: figs. 1a, 2c), the outer surface of the propodus of the major chela is eroded (Coelho &amp; Coelho 1998: fig. 3 c–e), and the inner surface setose. The arching of the fingers was found to vary with overall size, with smaller males possessing more typical chelae (Coelho &amp; Coelho 1998: 813) (see
