Description Male ( holotype ) MEASUREMENTS. Total body length 1.05, carapace width 0.45. Distance PME–PME 40 µm ; diameter PME 30 µm ; distance PME–ALE 15 µm ; AME absent. Leg 1: 2.55 (0.65+0.15 + 0.70 +0.70 +0.35), tibia 2: 0.45, tibia 3: 0.40, tibia 4: 0.60; tibia 1 L/d: 12. COLOR (in ethanol). Prosoma and legs ochre-yellow, ocular area and clypeus barely darker, carapace with very indistinct radial marks and internal posterior dark mark; legs ochre yellow, without dark rings; abdomen pale bluish gray with small darker bluish mark in gonopore area. BODY. Habitus as in Fig. 1 . Ocular area not raised. Carapace with very shallow, almost non-existent thoracic groove. Clypeus unmodified. Sternum barely wider than long (0.32/0.30). Abdomen globular. CHELICERAE. As in Figs 10–11 , with pair of simple pointed frontal processes directed downwards; without modified hairs and stridulatory ridges. PALPS. As in Figs 5–6 ; coxa with retrolateral apophysis, trochanter barely modified, femur proximally with large retrolateral process, distally with short ventral process directed towards distal (asterisk in Fig. 8 ); procursus ( Figs 7–8 ) weakly sclerotized flat sclerite, wide in lateral view, narrow in dorsal view, with small cuticular spines on retrolateral side, distally with two points directed towards ventral; genital bulb ( Fig. 9 ) distally with straight apophysis accompanied by membranous process (the latter presumably carrying the sperm duct). LEGS. Without spines and curved hairs; few vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 53%; prolateral trichobothrium absent on tibia 1; femur 3 not thickened; tarsus 1 with ~7 pseudosegments, difficult to see in light microscope. Male (variation) Tibia 1 in nine males (incl. holotype ): 0.65–0.85 (mean 0.73); the two males from the cave (Cueva del Guano) have the longest legs (0.80, 0.85); all other males range from 0.65–0.75. Eyes and coloration do not seem to differ between epigean and hypogean males. Female In general similar to male ( Fig. 2 ). Tibia 1 in eight females: 0.70–1.05 (mean 0.81); the two females from the cave have the longest legs (0.90, 1.05); all other females range from 0.70–0.85. Without stridulatory apparatus between prosoma and abdomen. Epigynum ( Fig. 14 ) simple flat plate, only posterior margin sclerotized, sclerotized area wider laterally than medially; internal structures partly visible through cuticle (often bluish or greenish). Most females with genital plug and epigynal plate tilted up to more or less vertical position. Internal genitalia ( Figs 12 , 15–16 ) with pore plates in vertical position on tent-like sclerite.
