The sutures 7/8 are extremely long, getting progressively close to each other as they run forward over the thoracic sternites (M. Tavares pers. comm.). The spermathecal apertures, situated together, are situated far forward on the anterior part of of sternite 4 (i.e. beyond the articular condyles of the chelipeds).
