Single spermathecal duct arising just before apex of common spermathecal duct, uniformly smooth and parallel-sided until a constriction just before basally swollen and distally tapered single spermatheca. Paired spermathecal duct arising at apex of common duct, entirely smooth and uniform from apex of striated common duct to constriction before splitting into paired spermathecae and their stems. Paired spermathecae elongate-oval, not distinctly striate, stems narrow, distal section with an S-bend.

Preabdominal sternites greatly reduced, but S4–6 present as distinct, elongate and very narrow sclerites. Sternite 8 subequal to epandrium, setulose except for bare posterior margin, partially fused with broad ventral lobe of S7 on left side, separate from a large lateral, normally invaginated sclerite on right side. Epandrium setulose, long-setose posterodorsally. Ejaculatory apodeme larger than epandrium; hypandrium with a long, scoop-like anterior margin, basal part of distiphallus broad, distally extending hood-like over a large phallic bulb; distal distiphallus slender and curved into flat, symmetrical, scoop-like anterior part of hypandrium.

share many distinctive characters, including the unique and diagnostic prominent frontal tubercle, the characteristic bicoloured and white-banded femora, the microtrichosity of the epicephalon, the characteristically vittate scutum and the narrow brown palpus. This leaves little doubt that they are at least closely related, but the variation in other characters is hard to assess with so few specimens. The non-type male from

, and the Colombian specimen lacks the dark area proximal to the white femoral band. More specimens are needed to distinguish intraspecific variation from interspecific variation and to ascertain whether the material examined here represents one species or a group of related species. Sequence (barcode) data group the Colombian female with the Venezuelan female, but with a deep split between them.
