Favollo has a thick carapace, slightly convex upper face, smooth, and with transverse ridges behind the frontal border and the lateral regions. Strong asymmetric chelipeds. Female has a large oval abdomen, while the male’s is narrow. Brownish-red or brownish-green in colour, with yellow spots.
Favollo's flesh is aromatic and tasty, but few. However, it is a good ingredient for fish or seafood soups.
