| Rare complete carapaces of larger specimens are present and those of smaller instars are more common. |
| The material basis for restudy of this genus consists of 21 carapaces from the series originally studied by Gemmellaro. |
| The galatheid crabs had particularly high reflectances, relatively spectrally neutral on the small carapaces, and quite red on the large legs. |
| There is no clear evidence to differentiate encrustation prior to molting from postmortem encrustation on the external surface of carapaces. |
| These genera have well-ornamented carapaces that exhibit carapace width and length ratios that differ from the other genera within the family. |
| All specimens are exuviae, with thin and fragile carapaces and abdomens and fragmentary bodies and appendages. |
