ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the basally narrow embolus (fig. 426), females by the long, deeply depressed epigynal atrium (fig. 428).

Retrolateral tibial apophysis relatively short, laterally convex (fig. 427); embolar base narrow, embolar apophysis long, straight, tegular apophysis long, median apophysis laterally flattened, situated opposite bump on tegulum (fig. 426).

FEMALE: Total length 8.2. Coloration and leg spination as in male. Epigynal hood wide, beak­shaped, situated above depression continuous with epigynal atrium (fig. 428); dor­ salmost ducts almost as long as median ones (fig. 429).
