Endites with dorsal process smaller than ventral process. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-2; tibiae: I v4-4-1p, II v4-4-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p, II v2-2-0. Palps symmetrical; embolus with four prongs, second basalmost one much wider than others.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 10705, figs. 262– 267): Total length 1.58. Chilum small. Postepigastric scutum only around epigastric furrow, not fused to epigastric scutum. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, II p0-0-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2, II v4-4-1p; metatarsi I, II v2-2-
