Females

(Females of the spinimana , beshkentica and maracandica species groups can be confidently distinguished from each other only by the shape of the receptacles, but this feature is not a group-specific character).

1. Intensely brown-coloured spiders; abdomen uniformly brown; legs always with darker though diffuse fasciae ( Figs 5 View Fig. 5 A–B, 6A, 8E–G, 10A–E, 11A–E, 12A–B, D–E) ……………………………………2
