Length of the adult female 1 3 / 4 line.

Cephalothorax deep blackish brown, the ocular area being black; it has a narrow submarginal line of white hairs; and its whole upper surface is thinly clothed with similar hairs.

Falces small, set rather back beneath the fore margin of the cephalothorax, nearly vertical, and of a dark-brown hue.

Maxilla and labium dull brownish, tipped with a paler colour.

Sternum oval, pointed behind, and similar in colour to the cephalothorax.

Legs pale dull yellowish, the femora being dark brown, and the tibiae, metatarsi, and tarsi marked with brown, giving them a somewhat annulated appearance; beneath the terminal claws is a small claw-tuft.

The palpi are short, and of a more uniform pale-yellowish colour, clothed with, among others, some pale scale-like hairs above; while the digital joints have numerous longer, blackish ones beneath.

Abdomen short-oval, and of dark maroon-brown colour, thinly clothed with short, pale grey, or whitish, rather shining, somewhat squamose hairs; an indistinct pale stripe runs obliquely from just beneath each side of the fore extremity to, or towards, the spinners; the central longitudinal line is broadly blackish, but not very distinctly defined; and there are, on its hinder part, some very indistinct paler, sharply angular lines in a longitudinal scries; on the underside is a broad, longitudinal, central blackish band, somewhat narrowing to the spinners.
