Epigynum has sinuate ducts visible just beneath the surface ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 37 – 50 ).

Palpus ( Figs 44–47 View FIGURES 37 – 50 ): embolus long, looping distally into the cymbium then back proximally to be cradled in a boat-shaped conductor. The tip of the embolus is hidden within the tip of the conductor. Tibia of first leg with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; first metatarsus with three pairs. Carapace high; posterior eyes on mild tubercles. PME large, angled diagonally forward. Intercheliceral sclerite not enlarged into a visible horn.
