Opisthosoma dorsally distended, yellowish-brown, with brown pattern. Tubercles with a yellowish hue. Eye region mostly yellow, with dense bright hairs. Chelicerae brown. Legs brown, indistinctly annulated. Body length: female: 15–25 mm (Nentwig et al., 2024). Epigyne: Scapus covers the genital openings, joined to a basal zone that covers the copulatory ducts and the spermathecae made up of several sclerites. Laterally, the base of the epigyne is flanked by a pair of lamellae. In ventral view, the length and wrinkles of the scapus vary among individuals of the same species, perhaps due to a different folding of it. The scapus is always long and wide. Epigyne is very dark due to intense sclerotization (Morano &amp; Mora-Rubio, 2021) (Figs 2A–C).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CADB12FFF5FFD8FFF0FA14FE81F7BA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
