The male is distinctive, in having a unique form of the palpal organ with an oval depression below the tibial apophysis. The female can be distinguished by the epigyne with copulatory openings placed laterally under delicate hoods.

, but it has a unique tibia with an oval cavity below the apophysis and it differs in the presence of a membrane accompanying the embolus, so we have created a new genus for this species. The female is described here for the first time. The male and female are matched together based on body shape and colouration. Both sexes have a long proximal spine on the dorsum of the femora. This pairing needs to be confirmed in future studies when new material becomes available.
