Description (amendments; see Gertsch 1982 ; Huber 2000 ) Male (ZFMK Ar 23953) MEASUREMENTS . Total body length 1.40, carapace width 0.52. Distance PME-PME 40 µm; diameter PME 40 µm; distance PME-ALE 15 µm; distance AME-AME 10 µm; diameter AME 30 µm. Leg 1: 2.32 (0.65 + 0.17 + 0.57 + 0.60 + 0.33), tibia 2: 0.47, tibia 3: 0.43, tibia 4: 0.73; tibia 1 L/d: 7; diameters of leg femora 0.135, of leg tibiae 0.08. COLOUR (in ethanol). Prosoma and legs monochromous ochre-yellow; abdomen ochre-grey, also monochromous. BODY ( Fig. 36A ). Ocular area barely raised. Carapace without thoracic groove. Clypeus unmodified, only rim slightly more sclerotized, short (clypeus rim to ALE: 160 µm). Sternum wider than long (0.40/0.37), with pair of small but distinct anterior processes (~60 µm diameter at basis, ~60 µm long) near coxae 1. Abdomen globular. CHELICERAE ( Figs 38A–B , 41A–B ). With pair of frontal apophyses pointing downwards, distance between tips of apophyses: 60 µm; without stridulatory files. PALPS ( Fig. 37 ). Coxa unmodified; trochanter without process; femur proximally without process, distally widened but simple, slightly curved towards dorsal; femur-patella joints minimally shifted toward prolateral side; tibia very short, with two trichobothria; tibia-tarsus joints not shifted to one side; procursus very simple ( Figs 38C , 41C ), with distal ventral process; genital bulb ( Figs 38D–F , 41C–D ) large, complex, possibly indistinguishable from congeners. LEGS . Without spines and curved hairs; with slightly increased density of short vertical hairs on tibia 1 ( Fig. 42A–C ; barely visible in dissecting microscope); retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 64%; prolateral trichobothrium absent on tibia 1; tarsus 1 with five pseudosegments, all fairly distinct. Variation (male) Tibia 1 in three other newly collected males: 0.55, 0.57, 0.60. Female In general, similar to male ( Fig. 36B ) but sternum without pair of anterior humps and tibia 1 without increased density of short vertical hairs. Total body length: ~1.20–1.40; tibia 1 in 12 newly collected females: 0.47–0.62 (mean 0.52). Epigynum ( Fig. 39 ) very short band-shaped anterior plate slightly protruding in lateral view; posterior plate wide, median part slightly protruding anteriorly. With distinct knob between epigynum and pedicel (accidentally missing in specimens shown in Figs 39 and 40 – the knob sometimes stays attached to the prosoma when the abdomen is detached from it). Internal genitalia ( Fig. 40 ) with pair of strong transversal sclerites, pair of distinct sacs (receptacles?), without (or with very small?) pore plates.
