Description Male ( holotype ) MEASUREMENTS. Total body length 6.8, carapace width 1.7. Leg 1: 62.9 (14.4 + 0.8 + 15.1 + 28.5 + 4.1), tibia 2: 9.6, tibia 3: 6.0, tibia 4: 8.4; tibia 1 L/d: 94. Distance PME-PME 480 µm, diameter PME 180 µm, distance PME-ALE ~40 µm; distance AME-AME 50 µm, diameter AME 80 µm. COLOR. Carapace pale ochre, with wide median brown mark including ocular area, without lateral marks ( Fig. 36 ); clypeus not darkened; sternum dark brown; legs in live specimens bluish, in alcohol ochre to light brown, tips of femora and tibiae whitish; abdomen pale gray, dorsally with dark cuticular marks that are fused above spinnerets, with indistinct internal darker marks visible through cuticle dorsally and laterally; ventrally with undivided wide brown band between gonopore and spinnerets. BODY. Habitus as in Figs 36–37 ; ocular area raised, each eye triad on additional short hump directed towards lateral, with pair of processes between eye triads, each with distal brush of hairs; carapace without median furrow; clypeus unmodified; sternum wider than long (1.00/0.85), unmodified. CHELICERAE. As in Fig. 42 , with small lateral and frontal apophyses proximally and dark distal apophyses near median line provided with two small modified (cone-shaped) hairs each; without stridulatory ridges. PALPS. As in Figs 40–41 ; coxa unmodified; trochanter with retrolateral process and S-shaped ventral apophysis; femur with small dorsal hump proximally, finger-shaped retrolateral process proximally, and distinct ventral process; tibia large, with small but distinct ventral cavity (for proximal bulbal sclerite); procursus complex distally, with distinctive prolateral sclerite and membranous structures; bulb with large rounded uncus with pointed process, weakly sclerotized and distally widening embolus, appendix with small prolateral spine, distally curved towards retrolateral. LEGS. Without spines or curved hairs; few vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at 3.5%; prolateral trichobothrium absent on tibia 1, present on other tibiae; tarsus 1 with>30 pseudosegments, only distally about 20 fairly distinct. Male (variation) Internal dark abdominal marks more distinct in other males. Tibia 1 in 5 other males: 13.9–16.0 (mean 14.9). Female In general similar to male but ocular area less elevated, eye triads closer together (distance PME-PME 320 µm), without processes between eye triads. Tibia 1 in 13 females : 12.3–14.0 (mean 13.3). Epigynum large trapezoidal plate ( Figs 27 , 43 ) with anterior ‘knob’; internal genitalia as in Figs 29 and 44 , anterior sclerite medially distinctively curved backwards. ALS with one widened, one pointed, and five very small conical spigots (~1.5–3 µm wide and ~3–6 µm long).
