Short description Μορφολογία

A large Chaceon, CL to 143 mm, CW to 158 mm in adults, with 5 anterolateral teeth on the carapace and dorsoventrally depressed dactyli on the walking legs. Carapace 1.1 to 1.2 times broader than long. Median pair of frontal teeth separated by U-shaped sinus. Distance between submedian frontal teeth less than distance between them and lateral frontal teeth. Second, third, and fourth anterolateral teeth obsolete in adults, second and fourth smallest of all; distance from first to third tooth less than that from third to fifth tooth. Carapace with distinct raised ridge mesial to fifth anterolateral tooth, carapace surface finely granular, especially posterolaterally, smooth only at hepatic regions. Suborbital tooth short and broad in adults, not extending to level of lateral frontal teeth. Cheliped merus with sharp tooth subdistally, lacking distal tooth or angled lobe; carpus roughened dorsally, usually with irregular, curved granular ridge extending from middle of proximal margin to inner spine, anterior margin of carpus with at most an angled lobe but no spine; propodus with at most distal angled projection dorsally. Meri of walking legs with at most indistinct distal, dorsal tooth. Dactyli of walking legs depressed, height at midlength less than width. Fifth leg: merus usually less than 5.0 times (range 4.6-4.9 in adults, 6.4 in juvenile male) times longer than high, length 0.65 to 0.66 cb in adult; carpus with line of sharp granules dorsally; propodus length 4.1 to 4.3 times height in adult, 5.1 times height in juvenile, longer than dactylus.
