A new genus and species of freshwater crab is described from Madagascar. The new species is morphologically closest to the three species of the genus Foza Reed & Cumberlidge, 2006, but can easily be distinguished by having a completely smooth carapace with an unarmed anterolateral margin and a mandible with a distinctly shortened anterior lobe. This unusual suite of characters is sufficient to warrant the recognition of a new monotypic genus to accommodate this species.
马达加斯加发现了一种淡水蟹新属新种。该新种在形态上与2006年里德和坎伯里奇命名的福扎属（Foza）的三个物种最为接近，但很容易通过以下特征区分开来：背甲完全光滑，前侧缘无武装，且下颌的前叶明显缩短。这一系列独特的特征足以确认一个新的单型属来容纳该物种。
