308DA7ECD1505B72A3E1F9A9BDB4C05C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Modified from Ng and Mitra (2019). Carapace broad, dorsal surface gently convex; antero-lateral surfaces generally with small, rounded, densely packed granules, sometimes appearing almost smooth; post-orbital region with small, rounded granules; second anterolateral teeth relatively short in larger specimens, slightly sharp in smaller specimens; gastro-cardiac groove shallow but visible (Figs 1, 2 A, B, 3 A). Chelipeds unequal, male carpal spine more rounded, that on female more elongate (Figs 1, 2 G – I, J – L, 3 B – D). Ambulatory legs long, slender; articles laterally flattened, smooth; margins lined with setae (Fig. 1). G 1 relatively slender, laterally flattened, tip elongate, tapering, lined with numerous short spines (Fig. 3 G – K). G 2 longer than G 1, distal segment long, curved, tip weakly bifurcated (Ng and Mitra 2019: fig. 8 D).	en	Prema, Mani, Yang, Chien-Hui, Ravichandran, Samuthirapandian, Ng, Peter K. L.
