Diagnosis. Carapace ovoid in shape, wider than long; covered in short undulating tomentum; rostrum tridentate, teeth as blunt lobes; supraorbital margin eave-like; branchial grooves well-marked; prominent subhepatic tooth at level of suborbital margin, 3 well developed blunt anterolateral teeth. Female thoracic sternal sutures 7/8 ending wide apart just behind chelipeds. Distal corners of P2 and P3 knobbed; dorsal borders of P2–P5 emphasized with fringe-like row of longer setae making them appear cristate.

Distribution. Indian and Pacific Oceans. Occurring around most of the coast of Australia and New Zealand as far south as around 45°S. Depth range is 0– 520 m.
