Comments
: The affinities of this species are not clear, but it most closely resembles species of the genus
Chrosiothes
(see
Levi, 1964b
), where it also keys out in the key of
Agnarsson (2003a)
. The triangular-shaped, humpy, abdomen overhanging spinnerets, dark dorsal band on carapace and conformation of palp and epigynum all indicate affinity with
Chrosiothes
(
Levi, 1963
: figs 20–24). It differs from
Anelosimus
by abdomen shape and coloration, prosoma shape and coloration, and labium without a seam.
