Clypeus height 0.11. Chelicerae dark, with 4 promarginal and 4 or 5 retromarginal teeth. Endites and labium yellowish brown, longer than wide. Sternum yellowish, with brown setae. Legs yellow brown. Leg measurements: I 7.40 (2.01, 2.50,1.87, 1.02); II 5.19 (1.37, 1.85, 1.23, 0.74); III 4.70 (1.40, 1.55, 1.16, 0.59); IV 5.83 (1.74, 2.02, 1.49,0.58).

Tibia with large semicircular retrolateral tibial apophysis, originating near the base of tibia. Dorsal tibial apophysis large, exterior branch of dorsal tibial apophysis large, longer than wide, interior branch of dorsal tibial apophysis short, somewhat triangular. Cymbium longer than both tibia and patellae, with retrolateral angular projection. Bulb oval, slightly longer than wide. Tegulum widest in middle part. Conductor membranous, sheet-like. Median apophysis sclerotized, doorknob-like, about more than half-length of embolus, present at the center of bulb. Sperm duct visible in prolateral and retrolateral view. Embolus originating prolaterally, short, flat, with bifurcate tip.
