Coloration (Fig. 6A). Carapace yellowish, with light brown radiating marks and indistinct marginal brown band. Fovea longitudinal, reddish-brown. Chelicerae, labium, gnathocoxae, and sternum yellowish. Legs yellowish. Opisthosoma oval, grey with dark pattern, venter grey without pattern. Spinnerets white.

Palp (Fig. 4A, B). Patellar apophysis as long as patella, tip hook-shaped; patellar apophysis almost 1.5 × longer than tip. Tibia with black, serrated retrolateral apophysis, S-shaped in retrolateral view. Cymbium almost egg-shaped, 1.2 × longer than wide. Sperm duct long, basal thick part running around of tegulum, forming ~ 270° loop clockwise; middle thin part forming circular anticlockwise, diameter ~ 1/3 of bulb diameter; distal thin part running around of tegulum, forming circular clockwise. Embolus with wide, slightly membranous base and membranous, curved tip; its base arising at 4:30 o’clock position; tip hidden by cymbium in retrolateral view.

Female (paratype IZCAS-Ar44658; Figs 5A, B, 6B). Total body length 2.41. Carapace 0.97 long, 0.76 wide; opisthosoma 1.44 long, 1.09 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.04, ALE 0.07, PME 0.06, PLE 0.06; AME-AME 0.03, AME-ALE 0.01, PME-PME 0.07, PME-PLE 0.03, ALE-PLE 0.01. MOA 0.15 long, front width 0.09, back width 0.18.

Leg spination: patellae I-IV d1; tibiae I-II d1, III-IV p1 d2 r1; metatarsi III p1 d1 r1, IV p1 r1 v1.

Coloration (Fig. 6B). As in male but opisthosoma without pattern.

Epigyne (Fig. 5A, B). Epigynal plate 1.35 × wider than long. Copulatory openings located anteriorly, round, touching each other. Copulatory ducts intertwined, basal part with sharp twist, middle and distal part coiled twice around margin of spermathecae. Glandular appendages round, originating submedially to copulatory ducts, touching each other. Spermathecae oval, 4 × wider than copulatory openings. Fertilization ducts directed at 11:00 o’clock position from spermathecae.

Variation.

Males (n = 4): total body length 1.89-2.40, carapace 0.87-1.09 long, 0.76-0.88 wide, opisthosoma 0.98-1.31 long, 0.71-0.98 wide. Females (n = 4): total body length 1.96-2.55, carapace 0.80-0.96 long, 0.63-0.77 wide, opisthosoma 1.09-1.59 long, 0.81-1.18 wide.
