Description. Male ( holotype , NSMT Ar5249): Total length: 2.50 mm . Cephalothorax: chestnut brown with darker radiating lines, cervical grooves black ( Saito 1988 ); 1.03 mm long without cephalic lobe ( Fig. 45 ), 1.35 mm long with cephalic lobe ( Fig. 45 ); 0.78 mm wide. Cephalic lobe: projecting forward, thick at base and sharply pointed tip with sparse stout hairs; at thinnest part below the eye-field 0.14 mm wide laterally, 0.23 mm wide dorsally ( Figs 43, 45 ); sulcus absent ( Fig. 44 ). Eyes: PME upmost on the cephalic lobe, separated by slightly less than 1.5 times their diameter; position of the PLE adjacent to and above the ALE; one long macroseta projecting forward between AME ( Fig. 45 ); anterior row slightly procurved, eyes separated by their radius. Clypeus: wide, slightly convex. Chelicerae: dark brown ( Saito 1988 ); promargin with five teeth; retromargin with six denticles; many broad stridulatory striae. Sternum: yellowish brown, strongly darker at the margins ( Saito 1988 ). Legs: tibia I–IV with one dorsal proximal macroseta (1-1-1-1); Tm I: 0.63. Pedipalp: prolateral tibial apophysis glabrous, facing forward; retrolateral tibial apophysis hairy, facing forward ( Saito 1988: Fig. 12 ); suprategular apophysis semi circular; marginal suprategular apophysis minute; distal suprategular apophysis thin, blunt ( Fig. 41 ); embolic membrane with papillae; radix simple without any processes other than the long radical tailpiece and the very long, whip-like embolus that is strongly curved towards the tip ( Fig. 41 ). Female ( paratype , NSMT Ar5250): Total length: 2.58 mm . Cephalothorax: 1.08 mm long; 0.83 mm wide; general appearance similar to males, but without cephalic lobe ( Saito 1988 ). Eyes: anterior row slightly recurved, separated by about the radius of the AME; posterior eyes separated by at least an eye diameter ( Saito 1988 ). Epigyne: dorsal plate visible in ventral view; receptacula lateral to the dorsal plate, barely visible in transparency trough ventral plate ( Fig. 40 ); very small copulatory pouches ( Fig. 40 ). Vulva: without copulatory duct ( Fig. 40 ); receptacula globular.
