Diagnosis

Carapace squarish, external orbital angle triangular, lateral margins with 2 small crenulations; 2 pairs of postfrontal lobes present, lateral lobes slightly exceeding mesial lobes anteriorly; anterior margins of all lobes far from frontal margin in dorsal view. Palm of male chela swollen; outer surface granulated, granules smaller on lower part, with small median protuberance on proximal part of sloping smooth area around bases of fingers; upper surface with 1 straight, longitudinally traversing, not densely packed row of relatively small granules, and with a few short, oblique rows on inner side. Immovable finger almost straight, gradually tapering towards tip, occlusal margin lacking marked proximal elevation, lined with small teeth and 1 large tooth over proximal third, followed distally by similar combination of small teeth and 1 large tooth, 1 large subdistal tooth. Movable finger curved, occlusal margin lined with 2 proximal large teeth, followed distally by small teeth, and 1 subdistal tooth; inner side of upper margin sparsely lined with acute granules, granules indistinct distally; subdistal tooth of movable finger fitting between 2 subdistal teeth of immovable finger when closed. Male pleonal somite 3 widest, somite 4 abruptly narrowed distally, lateral margins of somites 3–5 clearly concave. G1 short, almost straight, stout, narrowed medially, distal end with relatively narrow, anterolaterally directed corneous process.
