) have a triangular epigynal atrium (fig. 680).
MALE: Total length 3.0. Abdominal dorsum without distinct patterning visible under scutum, venter with four longitudinal rows of small, orange, circular sclerites. Leg spination typical for genus. Retrolateral tibial apophysis long, narrow (fig. 679); median prong of terminal apophysis long, membranous except along dorsal edge, tegulum with medially situated lobe (fig. 678).
FEMALE: Total length 2.6. Coloration as in male, except abdominal venter without longitudinal rows sclerites. Leg spination typical for genus. Epigynal atrium triangular (fig. 680), median ducts widely separated (fig. 681).
