In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:MALEBody: Markings: Opistosoma with dark or bright spots . basic colouring dark. Carapace: Colouration: Laterally with light bands. Eyes: AER: dorsal edge recurve. Labium: Length: longer than wide. Palp: Gnathocoxa: Corner present. Tibia - retrolateral tibial apophysis - characteristics: dorsal serration indistinct but present. base of RTA distinctly wider than distal section (consider also retrolateral view). RTA in ventral view medium-sized in width (between 3x longer than broad and 4.5x). RTA long. RTA in retrolateral view with slight ventral orientation (less than 10° angle). RTA in retrolateral view without bent (or just indistinct bent). Tibia - ventral bump - size: short (between 0.5x and 0.8x the width of sperm duct). Tibia - ventral bump - characteristics: inconspicuous. Cymbium: Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally : absent. Tegulum: Width: tegulum narrower than cymbium. Shape of proximal half: proximal tegulum lobe present. Proximal lobe - position: still retrolaterally, but slightly shifted centrally. Proximal lobe - size rel.: medium-sized. Proximal lobe - shape: prolaterally with very flat extension. Special structures: with flat triangular lobe directed distally. Sperm duct - location: occupying clearly more than retrolateral half and at most 3/4. Sperm duct - shape: double-stacked S-shaped, with proximal loop smaller than distal. Embolus: Base position: centro-distally (or even retrolatero-distally). Base circle size: medium-sized. Base - special structures: with longitudinal ridge (division) leaving a basal part prolaterally (but sometimes not clearly recognisable!). Arising point: 6 o´clock-position. 7 o´clock-position. Direction of distalmost section: prolatero-distally (with between 11° and 50° angle from longitudinal axis of cymbium). width relation - at arising point - subdistally: from 4.1x to 7.5x broader. width relation - subdistally - centrally: from > 1/4 to < 1/2 the width of central section. Shape: circular curved. bent counterclockwise. General structure: without or with 1-3 (at most) longitudinal ridges. short, between 1/3 and 1/2 the width of tegulum. with less than 1/2 winding. without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. without apophysis. in ventral view subdistally distinctly narrower than proximally. differently shaped (not hose-shaped, not filiform, not massive) (e.g. irregular shape or...) . Special structure: sickle-shaped. distally pointed. tip bent proximo-ventrally. without apohysis (apophyses). Legs: Leg formula: 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. dark red-brown or brown with few lighter annulations, mainly at proximal articles and tarsi. Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; AM broadest; C second broadest (but only slightly narrower than AM), without dark chevron; PM narrowest. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America.
