"All the specimens of Quadrella coronata in the collection belong to a new variety, which differs from the type in the following features: The carapace is distinctly broader than long. The chelipeds are only about 2.5 times as long as the carapace. The chelipeds are frosted over with tiny granules set in short rows athwart the limb. On the underside of the hand the granules are less regular in arrangement, and, projecting in profile, give the inner (lower) edge of the hand an in-egular, fine denticulation. The colour in spirit is a uniform pale flesh-colour, purplish in places."
(Borrodaile 1903)
