ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of one of the collectors, Christa Deeleman.
DIAGNOSIS: Males have about six transverse ridges on the scutopedicel area, of which the two dorsalmost are not weakened medially (fig. 182), and a short embolus with a stubby tip (figs. 184–190). Females show dark cuticular patches through the dorsal abdominal scutum, have the squiggled anterior receptaculum oriented largely transversely, and have a very short base on the T-shaped anterior process (figs. 195, 196).
MALE (PBI_OON 11985, figs. 180–190): Total length 1.85. Carapace pale orange, elevated portion of pars cephalica finely reticulate, sides finely reticulate. Sternum pale orange, finely reticulate. Mouthparts pale orange, endites unmodified. Abdomen without dark markings. Scutopedicel region with six transverse ridges, four most ventral ridges weaker at midline. Dorsal scutum pale orange, reticulate, covering most of abdomen length, width. Postepigastric scutum pale orange, covering about ¾ of abdomen length. Embolus relatively short, with stubby tip.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 31765, figs. 191–196): Total length 1.67. Abdomen dorsum with about six transverse rows of rectangular dark patches. Postepigastric scutum long, almost rectangular, covering about ¾ of abdomen length. Squiggled portion of anterior genitalic duct oriented largely transversely, T-shaped anterior process with very short base.
