Description. Male ( holotype , MNHNC-8020). Total length 8.2. Prosoma 4.5 long, 3.4 wide. Leg formula: 1243. Leg measurements: total length (femur/patella/tibia/metatarsus/tarsus): I 29.6 (7.5/1.9/8.5/8.3/3.4), tibia II 6.8, tibia III 3.8, tibia IV 5.8, pedipalpal femur 2.5. Coloration: Prosoma mainly light brownish, darkened medially and laterally, sternum brown, legs medium brown, opisthosoma mainly dark grey brown, book lungs and tracheal patches yellow. Prosoma: 1.32 x longer than wide; cuticule smooth, with feathery hairs similar to those on the pedipalpal and leg articles; fovea well developed; posterior row of eyes distinctly procurved, AME 0.15, ALE 0.27, PME 0.24, PLE 0.25, clypeus height at midline 0.45 (= three times the diameter of AME); basal cheliceral article large, promargin with five large teeth, retromargin with denticles on a hump, laterally with a small field of stridulatory files, fangs large in an oblique position. Legs: long, numerous bristles of medium length, single lined calamistrum in the middle third of metatarsus IV. Opisthosoma: oval, covered with short hairs, cribellum large and undivided. Pedipalp ( Figs 4–6 ): Trochanter proventrally with a blunt stridulatory outgrowth facing the stridulatory files (no pick); tibia with two irregular rows of more than a dozen long trichobothria and feathery hairs; cymbium long and slender, subtegulum with large hook-like retrolateral process, and dorsal hump on prolateral side ( Fig. 4 , arrowhead), tegulum with a blunt hook-like tip, median apophysis slender and weakly sclerotized in basal half, embolus large with retrolateral sclerotized tip, distal part of spermophor clearly visible ( Fig. 4 , arrow). Note that the prosoma of the holotype is dorsally compressed and the right legs I and II are missing. Female. Similar to male but larger, the stridulatory files slightly corniculate and without a distinct hump on the pedipalpal trochanter. Total length 11–14, prosoma 5.5–6.2 long, 4.2–5.3 wide; leg I 8.2/2.5/9.8/8.7/3.8, tibia II 6.9, tibia III 4.5, tibia IV 6.0, pedipalpal tarsus 2.5. Eyes and clypeus variable, clypeus at midline 2.6–4.5 x diameter of AME. Pedipalp large and spiny, tarsal claw well developed, toothed. Genitalia ( Figs 7–13 ): scape prominent and rounded, extending over epigastric furrow, cuticle anterior to scape folded ( Fig. 11 ); genital opening with strong and large sclerotized area (=transversal plate sensu Forster et al. 1987 ) with ridge-like sclerotization pattern laterally ( Figs 10, 11 ), anterior lobe (aL) weakly sclerotized anteriorly and with strongly sclerotized plate (aP) ( Figs 11, 12 ), long, curved lateral lobes (LL) connecting the anterior lobe with the basis of the uterus externus ( Figs 9, 13 ).
