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: transversal 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). primary spermatheca - position: (all parts) clearly posterior of secondary spermatheca (in dorsal view with [clearly recognisable] gap between the two). secondary spermatheca - presence: present. secondary spermatheca - shape: kidney-shaped. secondary spermatheca - visibility: visible through cuticle of the epigyne. secondary spermatheca - size rel. : medium-sized. secondary spermatheca - span: span over both secondary spermathecae as long as span over both primary spermathecae. secondary spermatheca - orientation: transversally (medio-laterally; with spermathecal head orientated latero-posteriorly). connective duct - initial position: posterio-medially. connective duct - width: very narrow. narrow (width of secondary spermatheca / width of connective duct < 4, but > 3). connective duct - final position: medially. connective duct - shape: straight (or at least approximately straight) diagonally converging. connective duct - length rel.: long (length of connective duct / width of primary spermatheca > or equal 1.5, but < 2). head of spermatheca - shape: round (or at least spherical) (length > or equal 1 x width, but < 1.25x). head of spermatheca - orientation: latero-posteriorly.
