Carapace, sternum, labium and maxillae dark chocolate brown; chelicerae dark reddish brown, with 4(5) pro- and 2(4) retromarginal teeth. Palps light brown; legs dark chocolate brown with faint light markings, distal segments lighter. Abdomen grey, with light brown trapezoid scutum, covering approximately 1/3 of dorsal surface. Spinnerets dark grey. Measurements of palp and legs: palp: 3.1 (1.2, 0.55, 0.35, -, 1.0), I: 9.1 (2.5, 1.55, 1.95, 1.7, 1.4), II: 7.35 (2.05, 1.25, 1.45, 1.35, 1.25), III: 6.4 (1.8, 0.95, 1.2, 1.45, 1.0), IV: 10.15 (2.6, 1.5, 2.0, 2.8, 1.25).</p><p>Palp as in Fig. 11A–F; tibia with long apophysis, almost as long as tibia; cymbium 2× longer than wide, with one antero-prolateral spine; bulb ~2× longer than wide; sperm duct looping 180° prolaterally; tegular apophysis (<i>Ta</i>) digitiform; anterior tegular process (<i>At</i>) straight and lacking teeth, tip slightly belt anteriorly; paraembolic membrane (<i>Me</i>; ‘conductor’) large; embolus (<i>Em</i>) almost straight.</p><p>Female.
