Description:
Male (
holotype
):
Total length: 2.08. Prosoma: 0.85 long, 0.67 wide, unmodified (
Fig. 38A
). Eyes: AME- AME: 0.04, AME width: 0.04, AME-ALE: 0.04, ALE width: 0.07, ALE-PLE: 0, PLE width: 0.08, PLE-PME: 0.05, PME width: 0.06, PME-PME: 0.06. Clypeus: not hirsute. Sternum: 0.53 long, 0.53 wide. Chelicerae: mastidia absent; stridulatory striae rows compressed and evenly spaced (
Fig. 39A
). Legs: dorsal proximal macroseta on tibia IV 3.1 times diameter of tibia; Tm I: 0.34. Pedipalp: patella prolateral proximal vertical macrosetae absent; tibia with one prolateral, two retrolateral trichobothria; TPS slightly scaly, distalretrolaterally pointed; TPA absent; TRA apically oriented (
Fig. 52B
); PC median-sized, base not visible from dorsal view, distal setae close to distal clasp, distal clasp without striae, clasp directed slightly apically; T without papillae, PT with small papillae, TS as long as PT, without papillae; MSA present (
Fig. 52A
); DSA tip anteriorly oriented; EM flat, anterior margin without papillae, exceeds ARP (
Fig. 52B
); ARP pointed, angled ventrally; LER without striae, extended dorsal to E; VRP absent; TP tip narrow; E retrolaterally spiral, anterior margin at base slightly wavy (
Fig. 52B, C
). Opisthosoma: single-coloured grey (
Fig. 40A
); PMS with mAP, one AC; PLS with triad, one AC (
