Shape: circular curved. bent counterclockwise. General structure: without or with 1-3 (at most) longitudinal ridges. short, between 1/3 and 1/2 the width of tegulum. with more than 1/2 winding but less than 3/4 winding. without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. with apophysis. in ventral view subdistally not narrower or narrower, but not distinctly narrower than proximally (more than 1/7 as broad. Special structure: sickle-shaped. distally pointed. with one apohysis. Legs: Colouration: dark red-brown or brown with few lighter annulations, mainly at proximal articles and tarsi.
