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: medium-sized. Base - special structures: Special structures at/ on embolus base absent (except for indistinct ridges or flat bulges that are often recognisable). Arising point: 10 o´clock-position. 11 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 2.6x to 4x 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. long. 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. quite broad and hose-shaped. Special structure: sickle-shaped. distally pointed. without apohysis (apophyses). Legs: Leg formula: 4-3-1-2. 4-3-2-1. 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 (but only slightly narrower than AM), without dark chevron; PM narrowest. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America.
