						Carapace tough to granulose, regions discernible; front with 3 acutely triangular teeth; 9 teeth on each anterolateral margin, the last tooth much larger than preceding teeth.  Larger chela with conical tooth at base of fingers; pollex ridged.  Color:  carapace dull green to brown.					
				
				
						
			
			
			
			
				
					Minimum depth assumed from its ecology. Shallow waters up to depths of 50 m.  Inhabits sandy to sandy-muddy substrates (Ref. 343).  Benthopelagic predator, feeding mainly on bivalves (Lamellibranchia), benthic crustaceans, fishes and cephalopods (Ref. 117071).				
			
			
			
			
			
			
				
					Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric.  Mating behavior:  Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
