Ocular area elevated and separate from rest of carapace. Thoracic furrow shallow but distinct. Chelicerae ( Figs 5E–F ) with pair of proximo-lateral apophyses (pa in Figs 5E–F ) with stridulatory ridges, pair of distal apophyses with sclerotized cones each (da in Fig. 5E ), and pair of frontal apophyses with sclerotized cones each (fa in Figs 5E–F ). Pedipalps as in Figs 4A–B ; trochanter with retrolateral apophysis and ventral apophysis; femur conspicuously enlarged and dorsally strongly curved; procursus ( Figs 4C–D ) curved, with elongated prolatero-subdistal apophysis (arrow 1 in Fig. 4C ) and dorso-distal protrusion (arrow 2 in Fig. 4C ); bulb simple, no other projections except for embolus ( Fig. 5D ). Retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia I at 13% proximally; legs with short vertical setae on tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi, without spines or curved setae; tarsus I with 9 distinct pseudosegments. Female: Similar to male, habitus as in Figs 5I–J . Total length 2.20 (2.33 with clypeus), carapace 0.78 long, 1.01 wide, opisthosoma 1.42 long, 1.28 wide; tibia I: 2.37, tibia I L/d: 20.
