Remarks. This species found recently on the continental shelf of Northwestern Australia, was known from only three male specimens. I attribute to it here a female specimen from the Timor Sea, Indonesia. This female specimen shows the following characteristics: chelipeds, the right is bigger than the other (heterochely) with the external face of the propodus smooth; the propodus of the small cheliped is completely spinulous.
