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: moderately dark or light (red-)brown with many lighter annulations. Opisthosoma: Colouration: three bands; C broadest, with d. chevron; PM very narrow, but 2nd broadest; AM even narrower than PM and only at anterior margin of O, leaving a large dark field occupying almost complete anterior half of O. Epigyne: Field - presence: present. Field - width: broader than long. Window - shape: oval. without transversal division. anterior 1/3 of epigynal window more or less as broad as posterior 1/3. Windows - septum - state: continuous. very narrow. 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: not reaching the epigastric furrow. Window - lateral margin - condition: continuous. with gap (might be very conspicuous!). Window - anterior margin - condition: margins of both epigynal windows anterio-medially regularly 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: medio-anteriorly. fertilization duct - width: initial section of fertilisation duct comparatively broad ([slightly] broader than connective duct). primary spermatheca - shape: round. primary spermatheca - size rel.: medium-sized (diameter of primary spermatheca more than 1/2 the length of epigynal window, but less than 2/3). 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: drop-shaped. 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: longitudinal (posterio-anteriorly; with spermathecal head orientated latero-posteriorly). connective duct - initial position: centro-medially. connective duct - width: very narrow. connective duct - final position: ventro-medially. connective duct - shape: slightly curved and converging. connective duct - length rel.: long (length of connective duct / width of primary spermatheca > or equal 1.5, but < 2). head of spermatheca - shape: flat. head of spermatheca - orientation: latero-posteriorly.
