Length of the ocular quadrangle: 1.35. Width of the anterior eye row: 1.62; posterior: 1.67. Chelicera light brown, with three or four teeth on promargin and one on retromargin. Labium, sternum and endites light brown. RvTA elongate with dilated distal end, embolus tip long and straight ( Figs 81–82 ). Legs 1423, yellow, I slightly darker, distal patella I and tibia I even darker, leg IV retrolaterally brown. Femur I 1.80x0.85; II 1.50x0.55; III 1.40; IV 1.77. Patella I 1.25; II 0.95; III 0.80; IV 0.92. Tibia I 1.55x0.70; II 1.15x0.40; III 1.02; IV 1.62. Metatarsus I 1.05; II 0.77; III 0.95; IV 1.30. Tarsus I 0.65; II 0.55; III 0.60; IV 0.60. Leg spination: femur I, II d1-1-1, p1-2, v1 pdi; III d1-1-1 (d1-1), p1-1-2 (p2di), r1-1 (r1di), v1 pdi; IV d1-1-1, p1, r1di. Patella I, II, III, IV 0. Tibia I v11; II v2-1 r-2; III p1di, r1-1 (r0), v2-2; IV p0, r0, v2-2. Metatarsus I, II v2-2; III p2di, r2di, v2 di; IV p1-1 (p1di), r1di, v2 di.
