Paratypes, F, 3 M, same data as holotype (N1952339-N1952342); F, 2 M, New South Wales, Washpool Ck near Tenterfield, 8.x.1956, G. F. Bornemissza, on P. dilatatus (N1952343-N1952345). In SAMA.

Both sexes: idiosoma 890–930 long; anterior hyaline projection does not extend past CxI; exopodal patterning between CxII–III striped; pedofossae III present, IV absent; seta h1 with 4–6 barbs; distal spine-like process on palp femur minute or absent; one non-filamentous excrescence ribbon-like, the other a short serrated blade; femur III and IV with large lamellae. Female: sternal shield smooth; seta st 1 30–33 long, slightly shorter than base of tritosternum; setae st2-st 4 15–20 long; sternogynial shield smooth, anterior margin straight. Male: tetartosternum absent, presternal processes articulated with sternoventral shield, symmetrical, with pointed ends, directed inwards and almost touching each other; sternoventral shield (anterior of genital opening) smooth; seta st1 30 long; genital opening placed between CxII–III, flanked by 10–12 pores.
