FEMALE (PBI_OON 49408, figs. 558, 559, 566, 567): Total length 2.37. Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum covering about 2/3 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora: I p0-1-2, r1-1-2; II p0-0-2, r1-1-2; tibiae I, II v4-4-2; metatarsi: I v2-2-2; II v3-0- 2.
