Description Male ( holotype ) MEASUREMENTS . Total body length 0.97, carapace width 0.42. Distance PME–PME 40 µm; diameter PME 40 µm; distance PME–ALE 20 µm; distance AME–AME 25 µm; diameter AME 25 µm. Leg 1: 2.02 (0.58+ 0.14 +0.50 +0.48 +0.32), tibia 2: 0.40, tibia 3: 0.36, tibia 4: 0.60; tibia 1 L/d: 7; diameters of leg femora 0.095, of leg tibiae: 0.07. COLOUR (in ethanol). Prosoma and legs ochre-yellow, legs without darker rings; abdomen ochre-grey with indistinct internal marks. BODY ( Fig. 2G ). Ocular area barely raised. Carapace without thoracic groove. Clypeus unmodified. Sternum slightly wider than long (0.34/0.31), with pair of rounded anterior processes near coxae 1. Abdomen globular. CHELICERAE ( Fig. 22A – C ). With pair of long frontal apophyses; with stridulatory files poorly visible in dissecting microscope. PALPS ( Fig. 21A – C ). Coxa unmodified; trochanter without process; femur proximally with prolateral stridulatory pick, distally widened but simple; femur-patella joints slightly shifted towards prolateral side; tibia globular, with two trichobothria; tibia-tarsus joints not shifted to one side; procursus as in Fig. 22D – F , with dorsal flap curved towards distal, large transparent ventral membrane, tip of procursus bent towards dorsal; genital bulb as in Fig. 22G – I , with simple proximal sclerite, distal sclerite wide, narrowing distally. LEGS . Without spines and curved hairs; vertical hairs not seen; trichobothria of tibia 1 not seen; tarsus 1 with 5 – 6 pseudosegments, poorly visible in dissecting microscope. VARIATION (male). Tibia 1 in three other males: 0.51, 0.52, 0.55. Female In general similar to male ( Fig. 2H ) but sternum without pair of anterior humps, and chelicerae apparently without stridulatory files. Tibia 1 in 16 females : 0.50 – 0.60 (mean 0.56). Epigynum ( Fig. 23A ) with simple trapezoidal anterior plate; posterior plate short and simple. Internal genitalia ( Fig. 23C – D ) very simple, with median sclerotized structure (receptacle?), apparently with small pore plates ( Fig. 32D ).
