Diagnostic characters：
A small hairy species. Anterior shield of carapace about as long as broad, being provided with some tufts of hairs and about three rows of spinules on lateral parts.

Antennular peduncle reaches beyond eyestalk with about half the length of last segment, and antennal peduncle reaches only slightly beyond eyestalk; scaphocerite bearing two or three spines on its inner margin. Chelipeds equal and thickly covered with long soft hairs; carpus with two longitudinal rows of strong spines; upper margin of palm with a row of five strong spines, and outer surface of palm smooth except for three or four longitudinal rows of tubercles; similar tubercles also on fingers. Ambulatory legs long and markedly hairy; in anterior margin of second leg merus with some tubercles, carpus with a row of spines and propodus with a row of about four spines on proximal half.
