Diagnosis. Both sexes can easily be separated from members of all the other species by having the posterior distal area of abdomen distinctly darker than anterior and median parts. Males have embolus distinctly shorter than tibia ( Fig. 15C‒D), tip with two extensions, one greater than the other ( Fig. 16B‒C). Females with a very wide invagination on receptaculum, small lobes and uterus externus with narrow base ( Fig. 16D‒F).
Description. Male and female described by Sánchez‒Ruiz et al.(2015).
Distribution. British Virgin Islandsand CulebraIsland ( Fig. 8E).
