Abdomen much damaged, soft tissues shrunken and now separated from tegument; remnants of whitish and darker setae; no positive proof of previous existence of stripes. Frontal aspect: clypeus light yellow with indistinct, colourless setae and brown bristles basally; eyes I surrounded with white setae; there is a yellowish spot, dorso-laterally at ALE. Chelicerae light yellow; pedipalps light yellow with darker spots basally on tarsus, tibia and patella. Legs I light brown with light transverse spot on tibia and patella. Ventral aspect generally whitish yellow, abdomen light whitish yellow with small, darker grey spots, more concentrated along median line. Epigynum with two grooves, truncated anteriorly, broadly open posteriorly, divided by broad septum not narrowing posteriorly. Copulatory opening very broad, funnel-like narrowing channel leads to the anterior chamber from which convoluted narrow chambers of spermathecae run medially to midway along the epigynum.© PRÓSZYŃSKI 2003 Body: Markings: dark or bright vertical stripes.
