Caecopilumnus hirsutus Borradaile 1902

"A Caecopilumnus with the carapace moderately convex from side to side, strongly so fore and aft, granular and pubescent all over, the front strongly bent downwards, its sides sloping inwards to a groove in the middle, fringed with long hairs, which are also found all over the orbital region and eyestalks and along the sides of the carapace ; the orbit very small, without orbital tooth or spine or notches in the rim ; the anterolateral edge passing with an even sweep into the posterolateral behind, and in front fading away at a point behind and above the outer angle of the orbit, which thus comes to lie to a great extent on the underside of the body; the granules of the carapace enlarged along the anterolateral edge into small spines, arranged in four irregular sets ; the hinder edge hollowed; the regions rather faintly marked ; the eyestalks large relative to the orbits, which they entirely fill, fitting close against the thin, non-prominent rims, and thus complete the outline of the carapace, simulating the carapace in their granulation and hairs ; cornea small and hidden on the underside of the eyestalk ; chelipeds equal, granular, pubescent and hairy, these features extending to the fingers, the fingers compressed and grooved, with interlocking teeth on their apposed edges, and sharp, crossing tips ; and walking legs of moderate length, very stout, especially the second and third, which have very long propodites, covered with long hairs but without spines."
