In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:FEMALEBody: 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 absent. Legs: Leg formula: 3-4-2-1. 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. Epigyne: Field - presence: present. Field - width: broader than long. Window - shape: oval. Windows - septum - state: continuous. very narrow. narrow (> 1/8, < 1/6 the width of epigynal window). separating more than only the posterior sections of epigynal windows. at anteriormost section clearly diverging. Window - posterior margin - distance to EpGF : short. 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 regularly connected. Window - posterior half - shape: regularly rounded. Copulatory opening - location: located in anterior half of epigyne. 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.: large (diameter of primary spermatheca more than 2/3 the length of epigynal window, but less than 3/4). primary spermatheca - position: (all parts) clearly posterior of secondary spermatheca (in dorsal view with [clearly recognisable] gap between the two). secondary spermatheca - presence: present. secondary spermatheca - shape: (approximately) round. secondary spermatheca - visibility: visible through cuticle of the epigyne. secondary spermatheca - size rel. : very small (ratio "diameter primary spermatheca / diameter secondary spermatheca" > 2.5). secondary spermatheca - span: span over both secondary spermathecae shorter than span over both primary spermathecae. secondary spermatheca - orientation: being round and thus orientation not recognisable; with spermathecal head orientated laterally). connective duct - initial position: posterio-medially. connective duct - width: very narrow. connective duct - final position: anterio-medially. connective duct - shape: slightly curved and converging. connective duct - length rel.: short. head of spermatheca - shape: round (or at least spherical) (length > or equal 1 x width, but < 1.25x). head of spermatheca - orientation: posterio-laterally.
