See: carapace region j [Martin, 2005].

Narrow space bordering upper margin of orbit; not always distinguishable [Williams, 1984].

One of two relatively narrow regions along anterior margin of carapace; corresponds to to point of projection of eyestalks. Adjoining regions include frontal, antennal or hepatic, and gastric regions [Stachowitsch, 1992].

Paired areas on carapce adjacent to orbits [Butler, T.H.].

Paired areas on the carapace just posterior to the eyes [Perez Farfante and Kensley, 1997].

The paired areas on the carapace adjacent to the orbits [Chace and Hobbs, 1969].
