Between paratype males and the holotype male, the coverings of white scales on the dorsal opisthosoma and carapace and the colular tuft are more or less distinct, likely due to scales rubbing off. The width and colour of orange tracts of scales marking the ocular quadrangle also slightly vary (Fig.
