Description Male HABITUS. See Fig. 1H. MEASUREMENTS. Total length 1.69–2.25. Carapace 1.01 long, 0.78 wide. PROSOMA. Carapace uniformly yellowish-brown; chelicerae, labium and gnathocoxae of the same colour. Chelicera with stridulatory ridges on the lateral margin. Three teeth at the anterior margin of the fang groove, posterior margin with 4–5 small denticles. Sternum greyish. Paler, yellowish coloration in some specimens. ABDOMEN. Covered with sparse setae, uniformly greyish with lighter marks barely visible on the dorsal side, distal end with a lighter area. LEGS. Uniformly yellowish-brown. Femur I with 1 prolateral spine. Tibial spine formula: 2221. TmI: 0.25. Leg measurements as follows: I: 0.77 + 0.27 +0.73 +0.58 +0.41 (2.77), II: 0.70 +0.27 + 0.65 +0.55 +0.39 (2.55), III: 0.61 + 0.23 +0.49 +0.52 +0.33 (2.18), IV: 0.82 +0.28 +0.78 +0.66 +0.40 (2.94). PALP ( Figs 1 A–D, 2A–C). Patella and tibia bearing 1 robust spine each, tibia with 3 trichobothria. Cymbium with a massive, triangular dorsal hump facing backward followed by a large and stumpy median tubercle. Paracymbium large, bearing several short setae on the basal area, lateral margin covered with several minute wrinkles. Two proximal radical apophyses: radical apophysis I short, robust and spine-like; radical apophysis II long, thin and thread-like, curved outward and downward. Distal radical apophysis bearing one or several robust teeth. Distal suprategular apophysis robust and curved, with a second branch more or less strongly developed depending on the population and individual. Antero-proximal part of median membrane with a row of 8–10 stumpy teeth. Terminal apophysis clearly visible, ending with a wide, wrinkled tip. Embolus curved, ending in a sharp point. Female HABITUS. See Fig. 1I. MEASUREMENTS. Total length 1.87–2.15. Carapace 0.81 long, 0.58 wide. PROSOMA AND ABDOMEN. As in male. Abdomen usually darker, with marks more visible than in the male. LEGS. As in male. Leg measurements as follows: I: 0.62 +0.30 +0.60 +0.43 +0.41 (2.35), II: 0.61 + 0.26 + 0.50 + 0.44 + 0.35 (2.17), III: 0.59 + 0.22 + 0.45 + 0.42 + 0.35 (2.03), IV: 0.74 +0.26 + 0.67 +0.54 +0.37 (2.58). EPIGYNE AND VULVA ( Figs 1 E–G, 2D–E). Anterior wall triangular, strongly wrinkled, covering a large epigynal cavity, ending with a truncated tip and lacking a clear ending lobe. Distal part of scapus wide, lobate, strongly protruding from the epigynal cavity. Posterior median plate small and rectangular, longer than wide. Spermathecae elongated and S-shaped. Copulatory grooves first turning posteriorly and outward before returning to the middle part of the vulva and ending in copulatory openings in the distal part of the scapus.
