Measurements: total length 5.4; prosoma: 2.6 long, 2.2 wide; sternum: 1.2 long, 1.0 wide; labium: 0.3 long, 0.4 wide; opisthosoma: 2.7 long, 2.1 wide; eye diameters: PME 0.18; ALE 0.17; PLE 0.18; legs (1423): I: 14.8 (4.1, 0.7, 4.1, 5.0, 0.9); II: 10.4 (3.6, 0.6, 3.4, 3.7, 0.9); III: 7.1 (2.2, 0.5, 1.9, 1.9, 0.6); IV: 10.5 (3.1, 0.6, 3.0, 3.0, 0.8). Female genitalia: positioning ridges, postero-laterad, separated from each other by six times their width; fovea below positioning ridges (Fig. 55).
