Sexual dimorphism minor, adult males with chela of pedipalps broader and fingers of pedipalps slightly flexed proximally; there is no difference in length and width of metasomal segments. Base color uniformly yellow to yellowish brown with dark spot on fifth metasomal segment. Movable finger of pedipalp bears 10–11 rows of granules, all without external and with internal accessory granules (  acutecarinatusgroup of Levy & Amitati, 1980). Pedipalp chela length/width ratio 4.5 inmales and 5.4 infemales. Manus of chela shorter than fixed finger. Pedipalp chela length/movable finger length ratio 1.32–1.38 inboth sexes. Trochanter of pedipalps with ten to twelve spinules and two setae. Anterior margin of carapace bears 8 symmetrically distributed spinules. First to third metasomal segments bear 10 carinae, fourth bears 8 or 10 carinae. All metasomal segments longer than wide. Pectinal teeth number 22–26 inmales and 18–23 infemales. Sternites and ventral surface of metasoma granulated, more so in males. Seventh sternite bears four crenulate carinae. Telson bulbous, aculeus shorter than vesicle. Subaculear tubercle present but not spinoid. Ratio of length vesicle/aculeus is 1.1–1.2.
