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 distinct. 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 in ventral view stout (less than 3x longer than broad). RTA long. RTA in retrolateral view with slight ventral orientation (less than 10° angle). RTA in retrolateral view without bent (or just indistinct bent). Tibia - ventral bump - size: absent or at least not recognisable as such. very short and indistinct. Tibia - ventral bump - characteristics: inconspicuous. Cymbium: Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally : present. Tegulum: Width: tegulum narrower than cymbium. tegulum as broad as cymbium. Shape of proximal half: proximal tegulum lobe present. Proximal lobe - position: distinctly shifted centrally. Proximal lobe - size rel.: relatively narrow. Proximal lobe - shape: regularly rounded. Special structures: without special structures. Sperm duct - location: occupying more than retrolateral 3/4 of tegulum. Sperm duct - shape: double-stacked S-shaped, (very depressed). Embolus: Base position: centro-distally (or even retrolatero-distally). Base circle size: large (width between 2/3 and 3/4 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: 1 o´clock-position. 2 o´clock-position. 3 o´clock-position. 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 4.1x to 7.5x broader. width relation - subdistally - centrally: from > 1/2 to < 3/4 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 more than 1 1/2 windings . without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. without apophysis. in ventral view subdistally distinctly narrower than proximally. filiform (very narrow: centrally with less than 1/4 the width of sperm duct). Special structure: 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; AM & C narrower (C < 1/6 OL), without light small stacked chevrons betw. C & PM. Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America.
