Redescription. Male (holotype) MNB 14212. Habitus (Figs 30-34). Carapace and chelicerae moderately rugose, abdomen covered with moderately dense and uniformly shaped setae. Measurements: TL 8.75, CL 3.72, CW 2.83, CyH 0.34, femur I L/W 1.87 (3.27/1.75). Eyes: AME 0.27, ALE 0.13, PLE 0.12, PME 0.15, AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.16, ALE-PLE 0.64, PLE-PME 0.47, PME-PME 0.37. Colour in alcohol: Carapace, chelicerae, sternum, labium, palp, leg I from coxa to metatarsus and most part of abdominal scuta intense cherry-red, tarsus I and legs II-IV (including coxae) and posterior part of ventral abdominal scutum yellowish-orange, unsclerotised part of abdomen medium yellowish-brown, lighter anteriorly and darker posteriorly and ventrally, with numerous and fairly dense darker brownish muscular pits, more dense on ventral side. Legs: formula 1432. Patella and tibia I with numerous and dense small ventral granules, tibia I prolaterally also with numerous flattened mound-shaped granules. True undivided scopula on entire proventral surface of tibia I; long, entire and prolateral on metatarsus I, vestigial and prolateral on tarsus I, vestigial and divided by setae on distal metatarsi and tarsi II-IV . Metatarsi II-IV with ventral brushes of dense setae. PTC each with 2-5 small acute teeth. Leg measurements:

Copulatory organs (Figs 35-37): Tibia slightly swollen, 1.4 times wider than patella and cymbium, almost as wide as long; cymbium 2 times longer than wide; bulb with tegular part longer than wide; terminal part with 2 distinct processes (plus poorly discernible flattened mound located opposite these two), kind of tegular apophysis (Ta) and broad, partly membranous complex embolus (Em). Tegular apophysis thin, smoothly bent, at least 7 times longer than wide. Embolus broad, bifurcated near the tip, both arms membranous, dorsal arm (Da) smaller than ventral arm (Va); sperm duct (Sd) of embolus distinct. Female. Unknown. Types.
