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 indistinct but present. base of RTA not or not distinctly wider than distal section. RTA in ventral view slim. RTA in ventral view medium-sized in width (between 3x longer than broad and 4.5x). RTA medium-sized in length. 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. 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: 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: 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: 5 o´clock-position. 6 o´clock-position. Direction of distalmost section: distally to minimally prolatero-distally (not more than 10° angle from longitudinal axis of cymbium). width relation - at arising point - subdistally: from 2.1x to 2.5x 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. medium-sized, between 1/2 and 1x the width of tegulum. with less than 1/2 winding. without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. in ventral view subdistally not narrower or narrower, but not distinctly narrower than proximally (more than 1/7 as broad. narrow (centrally between 1/4 and 1/3 the width of sperm duct). Special structure: sickle-shaped. without apohysis (apophyses). Legs: Colouration: completely or mainly with dark colour (e.g. dark red-brown) ((hardly with lighter sections, e.g. only tarsi lighter). 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. |
