Female.</b> Palps 3-segmented; palp tarsus with 2 terminal phaneres (1 long and 1 minute). Anterior margin of prodorsum with small median forked projection forming a notch; dorsal opisthosoma with 7 pairs of setae (<i>c1</i>, <i>c3</i>, <i>d1</i>, <i>d3</i>, <i>e3</i>, <i>f3</i>, <i>h1</i> present; <i>c2</i>, <i>d2</i>, <i>e1</i>, <i>e2</i>, <i>f2, h2</i> absent); dorsal setae short, fine with blunt rounded tips; 1–3 pairs of large pores present on opisthosoma (often with an associated minute pore visible, but difficult to see). Ventral and genital shields not developed, both regions membranous and merged together; 2 pairs of <i>ps</i> setae, anal valves membranous, <i>ps2</i> and <i>ps3</i> inserted longitudinally on anal valves; setae <i>4a</i> elongate fine; lacking supernumerary coxal setae <i>3a2</i> and <i>4a2</i>.
