Male (Figs 47A, B): Total length: 1.42: Carapace 0.66 long, 0.51 wide, the cephalic region slightly elevated, yellow, fovea, cervical and radial grooves distinct. Clypeus 0.16 high. Chelicerae with five promarginal and six retromarginal teeth. Sternum longer than wide, shield-like, yellowish with microsetae. Eyes: AER recurved, PER straight, wider than AER. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.04, ALE 0.06, PME 0.06, PLE 0.05, AME–AME 0.02, PME–PME 0.04, AME–ALE, 0.02, PME–PLE 0.04, AME–PME 0.03, ALE–ALE 0.22, PLE–PLE 0.24, ALE–PLE contiguous. Length of legs: I 2.36 (0.66, 0.81, 0.51, 0.38), II 2.11 (0.61, 0.70, 0.46, 0.34), III 1.75 (0.53, 0.53, 0.40, 0.29), IV 2.29 (0.65, 0.79, 0.51, 0.34). Tibial spine formula: 2-2-1-1.
