In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:FEMALEBody: 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 absent. Legs: Leg formula: 4-3-2-1. Colouration: dark red-brown or brown with several lighter annulations, mainly at proximal articles and tarsi, but also at distal sections of tibiae and/or metatarsi. 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. Epigyne: Field - presence: present. Field - width: clearly broader than long. Window - shape: oval. without transversal division. anterior 1/3 of epigynal window narrower than posterior 1/3. Windows - septum - state: continuous. medium-sized (> 1/6, < 1/3 the width of epigynal window). separating more than only the posterior sections of epigynal windows. at anteriormost section clearly diverging. Window - posterior margin - distance to EpGF : short. Window - posterior margin - position: reaching (or almost reaching or minimally extending) the epigastric furrow. Window - lateral margin - condition: continuous. Window - anterior margin - condition: margins of both epigynal windows anterio-medially not connected. Window - posterior half - shape: regularly rounded. Copulatory opening - location: located in anterior half of epigyne. Vulva: blind sac - length: blind sac absent. fertilization duct - arising point: centro-anteriorly. fertilization duct - width: initial section of fertilisation duct medium-sized (not narrower or at most 3/4 as narrow as connective duct). primary spermatheca - shape: round. diagonal oval. primary spermatheca - size rel.: medium-sized (diameter of primary spermatheca more than 1/2 the length of epigynal window, but less than 2/3). large (diameter of primary spermatheca more than 2/3 the length of epigynal window, but less than 3/4). primary spermatheca - position: (main parts) posterior of secondary spermatheca (in dorsal view without gap between the two; may touching each other). secondary spermatheca - presence: present. secondary spermatheca - shape: (approximately) round. secondary spermatheca - visibility: visible through cuticle of the epigyne. secondary spermatheca - size rel. : small (ratio "diameter primary spermatheca / diameter secondary spermatheca" < 2.5 but > 1.5). secondary spermatheca - span: span over both secondary spermathecae longer than span over both primary spermathecae. secondary spermatheca - orientation: being round and thus orientation not recognisable; with spermathecal head orientated posteriorly). connective duct - initial position: centro-anteriorly. connective duct - width: narrow (width of secondary spermatheca / width of connective duct < 4, but > 3). connective duct - final position: anterio-medially. connective duct - shape: slightly curved and strongly diagonally converging. connective duct - length rel.: short. head of spermatheca - shape: flat. round (or at least spherical) (length > or equal 1 x width, but < 1.25x). head of spermatheca - orientation: straight posterior.
