Description:
The carapace of the male is greenish-blue with a net-like pattern and scattered pale green spots, while the female has a brownish-green carapace with distinct white spots. The frontal teeth are small but clearly visible. The brachial area is not significantly swollen. The dactylus segments are generally shorter and more rounded, and the tips of the chelipeds are a rusty red color. The cheliped meri are shorter, thicker, and feature three spines along the outer edge of the merus. In males, the sixth abdominal segment is elongated and tapered, with the base of the first gonopod (G1) bearing a small but noticeable rounded spur. Both males and females display variable carapace patterns, ranging from dense spots merging into a wide reticulated network to a few spots with fine net-like lines.
