Since there are only two specimens available (the male -holotype +holotype and female -paratype +paratype ) I have left both specimens intact as much as possible, so as to keep them fit for further examination. More detailed examination of the genitalia has to wait until additional material becomes available. The illustrations provided here consequently have to remain more schematic and are meant to enable identification and give insight into their anatomy as much as possible. -Male.

At either side of the scape, between the widest part of the basal part of the scape and the posterior-most tips of the lateral ventral surface, a rounded structure ("lateral lobe") is visible, the function of which is unknown. The dorsal view ( -Fig. 6 +Fig. 5 +) is more or less oval, widest in the middle, and projects slightly over the epigastric furrow. A small parmula is visible, but mostly hidden below the scape. A narrow, slit-like space separates the scape from the lateral parts of the epigyne. At either side of the scape, between the widest part of the basal part of the scape and the posterior-most tips of the lateral ventral surface, a rounded structure ("lateral lobe") is visible, the function of which is unknown. The dorsal view ( +Fig. 6 ) reveals the knob-shaped parmula with a socket on top of the broad, squarish distal part of the scape; the entrances of the sperm ducts are discernible through the structure (situated at the ventral surface) laterally at the tip just mesally of a socket. I have not flattened the scape to investigate its precise anatomy because I have only this single specimen, but it looks as if the scape is not very flexible; the middle and terminal sections of the scape seem to arise from the dorsal side of the basal section of the scape, not at the tip but slightly more to the front (anterior direction) of that part of the scape. This would agree with the only slightly sickle-shaped embolus of the male (which has to fit into the curved section of the scape). In dorsal view it is clear that the rounded structures at either side if the scape are the extensions of the thin but well-chitinized "posterior median plate", which in this species is a dorsal median plate with concave distal margin; the "lateral lobes" appear to be separated from the bordering lateral ventral surface by a fissure; the lateral lobes and median plate should together be homologous with the posterior median plate in other - -Lepthyphantes + +Lepthyphantes species.
