Tibiae 1 and 2 with higher than usual density of short vertical hairs in males only. Prolateral trichobothrium apparently absent on tibia 1. Epigynum and internal female genitalia as in Figs 13, 17–19.    Distribution Known from several localities in the Venezuelan states Delta Amacuro, Bolívar, and Monagas(Fig. 1033).   Natural history Between El Triunfo and Piacoa this species was found in the leaf litter of a humid forest, on the undersides of curved leaves on the ground. In Parque La Llovizna the forest was much dryer and the spiders lived under pieces of wood and bark on the ground, in almost the same microhabitat as  Modisimus simoniHuber, 1997in the same place. 2018-11-11 ZFMK B.
