Chelipeds unequal, right one larger; coxa granulated, lower margin of ischium, merus with 3–4 blunt teeth, upper surface of merus toothed. Pereopods 2–4 with crest along anterior margin. Abdomen tubeculate. Juveniles with more spines than adults, carapace more angular, appendages more stout, short. Carapace length to 71.4 mm.
