Embolus: Base position: in prolateral half (or, depending on the size, prolateral 2/3, 3/4, etc.) of tegulum, but not reaching the prolateral margin; at distal section. in prolateral half (or, depending on the size, prolateral 2/3, 3/4, etc.) of tegulum, in line with (or even extending) the prolateral margin; at distal section. Base circle size: medium-sized. large (width between 2/3 and 3/4 the width of tegulum). Base - special structures: Special structures at/ on embolus base absent (except for indistinct ridges or flat bulges that are often recognisable). Arising point: 3 o´clock-position. 4 o´clock-position. 5 o´clock-position. Direction of distalmost section: distally to minimally prolatero-distally (not more than 10° angle from longitudinal axis of cymbium). width relation - at arising point - subdistally: at most 2x broader. width relation - subdistally - centrally: from > 1/2 to < 3/4 the width of central section. from > 3/4 to < 1x the width of central section. Shape: circular curved. bent counterclockwise. General structure: without or with 1-3 (at most) longitudinal ridges. long. with less than 1/2 winding. without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. without apophysis. in ventral view subdistally not narrower or narrower, but not distinctly narrower than proximally (more than 1/7 as broad. quite broad and hose-shaped. Special structure: distally regularly bifurcated. S-shaped. tip bent retrolaterally (tip may be very fine and light). without apohysis (apophyses). Legs: Leg formula: 4-3-1-2. Colouration: completely or mainly with dark colour (e.g. dark red-brown) ((hardly with lighter sections, e.g. only tarsi lighter). Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; AM broadest; C second broadest, with dark chevron; PM narrowest. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America. 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: 4-3-1-2. Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; AM broadest; C second broadest, with dark chevron; PM narrowest. Epigyne: Field - presence: present. Field - width: clearly broader than long. Window - shape: oval. with transversal division (part of this devision might be indicated by colour difference or fine gradation). anterior 1/3 of epigynal window more or less as broad as posterior 1/3. 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: reaching (or almost reaching or minimally extending) the epigastric furrow. Window - lateral margin - condition: with gap (might be very conspicuous!). Window - anterior margin - condition: margins of both epigynal windows anterio-medially not connected. Window - posterior half - shape: regularly rounded. Copulatory opening - location: located in anterior half of 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: (all parts) clearly posterior of secondary spermatheca (in dorsal view with [clearly recognisable] gap between the two). secondary spermatheca - presence: present. secondary spermatheca - shape: "volumnious crescent"-shaped. secondary spermatheca - visibility: visible through cuticle of the epigyne. secondary spermatheca - size rel. : with the same size (at least approximately) as primary spermatheca. 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: posterio-medially. connective duct - width: very narrow. connective duct - final position: anterio-medially. connective duct - shape: straight (or at least approximately straight) longitudinally. connective duct - length rel.: long (length of connective duct / width of primary spermatheca > or equal 1.5, but < 2). head of spermatheca - shape: elongated (length > or equal 1.25x the width, but < 1.75x). head of spermatheca - orientation: straight posterior.
