Description
The rostrum is bipartite, forming a double point. The two points are widely separated, each broad at the base and tapering forwards. The postorbital spine is laterally expanded and the antorbital spine is absent. Many areas of the carapace have tubercles. The second and third peduncular segments of the antenna are broad and the eyestalks retract. The chelipeds are equal in size and those of the female are shorter and less developed than in the male. The body and legs are pale red to brown, occasionally blue-grey, and the tubercles (warts) are white or brown. This species has been confused with Eurynome spinosa See Hartnoll, 1961 (references), ==Habitat==
