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 in ventral view medium-sized in width (between 3x longer than broad and 4.5x). RTA in retrolateral view more or less parallel with longitudinal axis of palp. RTA in retrolateral view without bent (or just indistinct bent). Tibia - ventral bump - size: absent or at least not recognisable as such. Cymbium: Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally : absent. Tegulum: Width: tegulum narrower than cymbium. Shape of proximal half: proximal tegulum lobe present. proximal tegulum lobe as such absent. Proximal lobe - position: at retrolateral half of tegulum. Proximal lobe - size rel.: medium-sized. Proximal lobe - shape: regularly rounded. Special structures: with (fine) transversal ridge (often at distal half at the area of the border between embolic division and tegulum). 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, in line with (or even extending) the prolateral margin; at distal section. Base circle size: large (width between 2/3 and 3/4 the width of tegulum). Base - special structures: with longitudinal division (ridge) dividing embolus base in a basal and a prolatero-distal part (prolatero-distal part in retrolateral view distinctly protruding from distal part of tegulum). 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 4.1x to 7.5x broader. width relation - subdistally - centrally: from > 1/4 to < 1/2 the width of central section. General structure: without or with 1-3 (at most) longitudinal ridges. very long, more than 1.5x the width of tegulum. with distinct embolic lamella (longitudinally associated hyaline membrane (homologous to conductor?), 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; AM & C narrower (C < 1/6 OL), without light small stacked chevrons betw. C & PM. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America.
