In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:MALEBody: Markings: Opistosoma with dark or bright spots . basic colouring dark. Carapace: Colouration: Laterally with light bands. Eyes: AER: dorsal edge recurve. Labium: Length: longer than wide. Palp: Gnathocoxa: Corner present. Tibia - retrolateral tibial apophysis - characteristics: dorsal serration indistinct but present. base of RTA distinctly wider than distal section (consider also retrolateral view). RTA in ventral view medium-sized in width (between 3x longer than broad and 4.5x). RTA medium-sized in length. RTA in retrolateral view with slight ventral orientation (less than 10° angle). Tibia - ventral bump - size: absent or at least not recognisable as such. Cymbium: Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally : absent. Tegulum: Width: tegulum as broad as cymbium. Shape of proximal half: proximal tegulum lobe absent. Special structures: without special structures. Sperm duct - location: occupying clearly more than retrolateral half and at most 3/4. Sperm duct - shape: shape not recognisable, as only parts of sperm duct visible through tegulum surface. Embolus: Base position: in prolateral half (or, depending on the size, prolateral 2/3, 3/4, etc.) of tegulum, but not reaching the prolateral margin; at distal section. Base circle size: extremely small (width less than 1/4 the width of tegulum). Base - special structures: Special structures at/ on embolus base absent (except for indistinct ridges or flat bulges that are often recognisable). Arising point: 6 o´clock-position. Direction of distalmost section: prolatero-distally (with between 11° and 50° angle from longitudinal axis of cymbium). width relation - at arising point - subdistally: at most 2x broader. width relation - subdistally - centrally: from > 3/4 to < 1x the width of central section. General structure: without or with 1-3 (at most) longitudinal ridges. very short, shorter than 1/3 width of tegulum. with less than 1/2 winding. without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. without apophysis. in ventral view subdistally not narrower or narrower, but not distinctly narrower than proximally (more than 1/7 as broad. Special structure: sickle-shaped. distally pointed. without apohysis (apophyses). Legs: Colouration: dark red-brown or brown with few lighter annulations, mainly at proximal articles and tarsi. Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; AM broadest; C second broadest (but only slightly narrower than AM), without dark chevron; PM narrowest. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America. FEMALEBody: Markings: Opistosoma with dark or bright spots . basic colouring dark. Carapace: Colouration: Laterally with light bands. Eyes: AER: dorsal edge recurve. Labium: Length: longer than wide. Palp: Gnathocoxa: Corner absent. Legs: Colouration: dark red-brown or brown with few lighter annulations, mainly at proximal articles and tarsi. Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; AM broadest; C second broadest (but only slightly narrower than AM), without dark chevron; PM narrowest. Epigyne: Field - presence: present. Field - width: clearly broader than long. Window - shape: (approximately) round (length / width < 1.1). without transversal division. anterior 1/3 of epigynal window narrower than posterior 1/3. Windows - septum - state: continuous. narrow (> 1/8, < 1/6 the width of epigynal window). Window - posterior margin - distance to EpGF : long (> 1/2 the length of epigynal window; < 1). Window - posterior margin - position: not reaching the epigastric furrow. Window - lateral margin - condition: continuous. Window - anterior margin - condition: margins of both epigynal windows anterio-medially regularly connected. Window - posterior half - shape: regularly rounded. Copulatory opening - location: located in anterior half of epigyne. Vulva: blind sac - length: blind sac absent. fertilization duct - arising point: centro-anteriorly. fertilization duct - width: initial section of fertilisation duct narrow. primary spermatheca - shape: round. primary spermatheca - size rel.: very large (diameter of primary spermatheca more than 3/4 the length of epigynal window). primary spermatheca - position: (all parts) clearly posterior of secondary spermatheca (in dorsal view with [clearly recognisable] gap between the two). secondary spermatheca - presence: present. secondary spermatheca - shape: (approximately) round. secondary spermatheca - visibility: visible through cuticle of the epigyne. secondary spermatheca - size rel. : very small (ratio "diameter primary spermatheca / diameter secondary spermatheca" > 2.5). secondary spermatheca - span: span over both secondary spermathecae shorter than span over both primary spermathecae. secondary spermatheca - orientation: transversally (medio-laterally; with spermathecal head orientated latero-posteriorly). transversally (medio-laterally; with spermathecal head orientated medio-posteriorly). connective duct - initial position: centro-medially. connective duct - width: narrow (width of secondary spermatheca / width of connective duct < 4, but > 3). connective duct - final position: medially. connective duct - shape: slightly curved and converging. connective duct - length rel.: short. head of spermatheca - shape: no statement possible, because heads of spermathecae absent. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America. |
