AME smallest, 2 /3 size of other eyes, which are subequal ( AME 0.08, ALE 0.13, PME 0.14, PLE 0.13); anterior eyes equally separated by half of AME diameter; PME close together, separated from each other by of their diameter, from PLE by of PME diameter; PME separated from each other by of their diameter, from PLE by about of PME diameter (AME-AME 0.04, AME-ALE 0.04, PME-PME 0.04, PME-PLE 0.09, AME-PME 0.08) (Fig. 312). Labium length and width subequal (Fig. 313). Cheliceral pro- and retromargins with 2 teeth. Epigynum without epigynal teeth; atria distinctly separated by a broad septum, which is as broad as atrial width; copulatory ducts large, originating medially and posteriorly, anteriorly extending and diverging; spermathecal bases large, round, widely separated by about 1.5 times their width; spermathecal stalks narrow, extending anteriorly; spermathecal heads distinct, arising distally (Figs 307-310).
