In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:FEMALEBody: Markings: Opistosoma with dark or bright spots . basic colouring dark. Eyes: AER: dorsal edge recurve. Labium: Length: longer than wide. Legs: Leg formula: 4-3-1-2. 4-3-2-1. Colouration: dark red-brown or brown with several lighter annulations, mainly at proximal articles and tarsi, but also at distal sections of tibiae and/or metatarsi. Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; AM broadest; C second broadest, with dark chevron; PM narrowest. Epigyne: Field - presence: present. Window - shape: oval. Windows - septum - state: continuous. medium-sized (> 1/6, < 1/3 the width of epigynal window). at anteriormost section clearly diverging. Window - posterior margin - distance to EpGF : medium-sized (> 1/3 the length of epigynal window; < 1/2). Window - posterior margin - position: not reaching the epigastric furrow. Window - lateral margin - condition: continuous. Window - anterior margin - condition: margins of both epigynal windows anterio-medially not connected. Window - posterior half - shape: medially with relatively steep and long increase (medio-)anteriorly, leaving a distinctly large, approximately triangular field between them and the epigastric furrow. Copulatory opening - location: located centrally or more or less centrally in epigyne. Vulva: blind sac - length: blind sac absent. fertilization duct - arising point: centro-anteriorly. fertilization duct - width: initial section of fertilisation duct narrow. primary spermatheca - shape: round. primary spermatheca - size rel.: medium-sized (diameter of primary spermatheca more than 1/2 the length of epigynal window, but less than 2/3). primary spermatheca - position: (main parts) posterior of secondary spermatheca (in dorsal view without gap between the two; may touching each other). secondary spermatheca - presence: present. secondary spermatheca - shape: longitudinally oval. secondary spermatheca - size rel. : very small (ratio "diameter primary spermatheca / diameter secondary spermatheca" > 2.5). secondary spermatheca - span: span over both secondary spermathecae longer than span over both primary spermathecae. secondary spermatheca - orientation: longitudinal (posterio-anteriorly; with spermathecal head orientated posteriorly). connective duct - initial position: anterio-medially. connective duct - width: broad (width of secondary spermatheca / width of connective duct < 2.5, but > 2). connective duct - final position: ventro-medially. connective duct - length rel.: medium-sized (length of connective duct / width of primary spermatheca > or equal 1.25, but < 1.5). head of spermatheca - shape: round (or at least spherical) (length > or equal 1 x width, but < 1.25x). head of spermatheca - orientation: straight posterior.
