Palp as in diagnosis. Cymbium distinctly longer than tibia. Embolus S-shaped, arising from tegulum in a 7.30 to 8-o’clock-position in ventral view, with embolic tip slightly shorter than embolic apophysis. Tegulum covering proximal part of embolus ( Figs 6A–C View FIGURES 6 , 7A–C View FIGURES 7 ).

Dorsal prosoma yellow-brown, lateral margins dark, with yellow submarginal transversal light band posteriorly. Fovea and radial furrows distinctly marked. Labium and gnathocoxae yellowish-brown, both with distal parts brighter. Sternum yellowish-brown, with margin brown. Chelicerae deep reddish-brown. Legs yellowish-brown with dark spots. Dorsal opisthosoma dark brown, covered by grey hairs, opisthosoma in posterior half with dark transversal band above spinnerets. Ventral opisthosoma yellow-brown with irregular pattern ( Figs 12A–B View FIGURES 12 ).

Measurements of palp and legs: Palp 12.2 (3.8, 1.4, 3.1, –, 3.9); I 37.8 (10.3, 4.1, 10.5, 9.9, 3.0); II 40.9 (11.5, 4.4, 11.2, 10.7, 3.1); III 32.8 (9.9, 3.6, 8.9, 7.9, 2.5); IV 35.3 (10.5, 3.0, 9.0, 9.8, 3.0). Leg formula: II-I-IV-III. Cheliceral furrow with 3 anterior and 4 posterior teeth and with ca. 29 denticles.

Copulatory organ as in diagnosis. Epigynal field wider than long, with long anterior bands, with one slit sensillum on each side close to the epigynal field. Lateral lobes fused, with median incision. Internal ducts diverging in their middle part. Glandular appendages swollen distally. Fertilization ducts arising posterio-laterally ( Figs 6D–E View FIGURES 6 , 7D–E View FIGURES 7 ).
