Description Male ( holotype ) MEASUREMENTS. Total body length 4.6, carapace width 0.9. Leg 1: 41.3 (9.7 + 0.4 + 9.8 + 19.4 + 2.0), tibia 2: 6.0, tibia 3: 3.2, tibia 4: 4.9; tibia 1 L/d: 110. Distance PME–PME 270 µm, diameter PME 120 µm, distance PME–ALE ~40 µm; AME absent. COLOR. Carapace pale ochre yellow with indistinct posterior median mark, ocular area and clypeus brown, black mark in AME area; sternum whitish; legs ochre-yellow with dark brown patellae and tibiametatarsus joints; abdomen ochre-gray, with black marks dorsally, monochromous ventrally. BODY. Habitus as in Fig. 5 ; ocular area raised, each triad on short stalk, medially with pointed process directed toward frontal and ventral ( Fig. 17 ); carapace without median furrow; clypeus unmodiFed; sternum wider than long (0.65/0.55), unmodiFed. CHELICERAE. As in Fig. 17 , with simple pair of weakly sclerotized processes in rather frontal position, without modiFed hairs; without stridulatory ridges. PALPS. As in Figs 18–21 ; proximal segments symmetric in shape but slightly larger on left side (e.g., length and diameter of right tibia about 95–97% of left tibia); coxa with strong ventro-distal rim but otherwise unmodiFed; trochanter with pointed retrolateral apophysis and rounded ventral hump; femur with dorsal hump and weakly sclerotized semitransparent process retrolatero-ventrally; tarsus with long whitish elongation with terminal tarsal organ; procursi of left and right palps strongly different, distal part of procursus clearly hinged in left palp, not hinged in right palp; bulb slightly smaller in right palp, with long processes extending in opposite directions (dorsal embolus; ventral appendix) almost symmetric (slightly longer in left palp). LEGS. Without spines and curved hairs; few vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at 3%; prolateral trichobothrium absent on tibia 1, present on other tibiae; tarsus 1 with> 20 pseudosegments, only distally fairly distinct. Male (variation) Not seen. Tibia 1 missing in other male. Female In general similar to male but eye triads on low humps and closer together (distance PME–PME 210 µm). Tibia 1 in 3 females : 6.9, 7.0, 7.9. Epigynum large elongate plate, anterior part weakly sclerotized, with symmetric or at most slightly asymmetric internal structures visible through cuticle; posterior part orange, with extensible scape with distinct transversal folds and small median process (“knob”) at tip ( Fig. 22 ); internal genitalia as in Fig. 23 . Natural history The spiders were found in very low abundance on the undersides of leaves about 50–200 cm above the ground in a disturbed part of the forest.
