						Carapace finely granulose, regions just discernible; 9 teeth on each anterolateral margin, the last tooth 2 to 3 times larger than preceding teeth.  Chelae elongated in males; larger chela with conical tooth at base of fingers; pollex ridged.  Color:  olive to dark green, with 3 prominent maroon to red spots on posterior 1/3 of carapace.  Easily distinguished from other species by its very distinct color markings.					
				
				
						
			
			
			
			
				
					Maximum length (female) from Ref. 119750. Occurs from the intertidal zone (especially juveniles) to depths of 30 m (Ref. 343).  Subtidal (Ref. 106854).  Inhabits sandy to sandy-muddy substrates (Refs. 343, 106287, 125338), in bays and estuaries (Ref. 106287).  Also in brackish water (Ref. 801).  Subtropical and tropical climates (Ref. 343).  Mainly a predator of sessile and slow-moving benthic macroinvertebrates (Ref. 102720); may be a scavenger (Ref. 100855).  Omnivore (Ref. 116259).				
			
			
			
			
			
			
				
					Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric.  Mating behavior:  Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
