In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:MALEBody: Markings: Opistosoma with dark or bright spots . basic colouring dark. Eyes: AER: dorsal edge recurve. Labium: Length: longer than wide. Palp: Tibia - retrolateral tibial apophysis - characteristics: dorsal serration indistinct but present. base of RTA not or not distinctly wider than distal section. RTA short (length between 0.3x and 0.5x the width of tegulum). RTA in retrolateral view with slight ventral orientation (less than 10° angle). Tibia - ventral bump - size: short (between 0.5x and 0.8x the width of sperm duct). medium-sized (as long or about as long as width of sperm duct). Tibia - ventral bump - characteristics: moderately conspicuous. Cymbium: Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally : absent. Tegulum: Width: tegulum narrower than cymbium. Shape of proximal half: proximal tegulum lobe present. Proximal lobe - position: at retrolateral half of tegulum. Proximal lobe - size rel.: relatively narrow. medium-sized. Proximal lobe - shape: regularly rounded. prolaterally with very flat extension. Special structures: without special structures. Sperm duct - location: occupying clearly more than retrolateral half and at most 3/4. Sperm duct - shape: double-stacked S-shaped, with proximal and distal loop equal in size. Embolus: Base position: centro-distally (or even retrolatero-distally). 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: very small (width between 1/4 and 1/3 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: 7 o´clock-position. 8 o´clock-position. 9 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: from 2.1x to 2.5x 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. short, between 1/3 and 1/2 the width of tegulum. with more than 1/2 winding but less than 3/4 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. narrow to medium-sized and hose shaped. Special structure: sickle-shaped. distally pointed. without apohysis (apophyses). Legs: Leg formula: 3-4-2-1. 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, with dark chevron; PM narrowest. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America.
