The front edge usually does not protrude before orbital, and the total length of these edges is 26-34% of the largest width of the carapace, with 5 spikes, including inner orbits, of which the middle springs lower than the others. 9-10 spikes are located on both anteroposterior lateral sides of the carapace; they can be of different shapes. The lateral edges are edged and can have one spike. The claws propodite is characterized by an upper edge at an angle of about 120° to the distal edge, equipped with sharp spines or grained or smooth keel. On the external surface of the propodite there are usually 4 balls. The cutting edges of the pliers' fingers of the claw have sharp teeth. The fixed finger has two points: middle and on the bottom edge Extant speciesIncluded species:[4]
