DESCRIPTION: FEMALE (
holotype
, PBI_ OON 1691). Total length 2.20.
Cephalothorax:
Carapace yellow-brown, broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, anteriorly narrowed to less than half their maximum width; lateral margin straight; nonmarginal pars cephalica setae absent, setae actually broken off, but bases remain; nonmarginal pars thoracica setae absent; marginal setae absent. Clypeus setae absent. Eyes all subequal, all eyes circular; posterior eye row straight from front; ALE separated by more than their diameter, ALE-PLE separated by less than ALE radius, PME touching for less than half their length, PLE-PME separated by less than PME radius. Sternum as long as wide, yellow-brown, anterior margin unmodified, posterior margin not extending posteriorly of coxae IV, precoxal triangles present; setae abundant, dark, evenly scattered. Mouthparts: chelicerae, endites, and labium orangebrown; cheliceral setae light. Labium elongated hexagon, anterior margin indented at middle; with six or more setae on anterior margin. Palp spines absent.
Abdomen:
Dorsum pale orange. Book lung covers round. Postepigastric scutum orange-brown. Spinneret scutum absent. Dorsum setae light, needlelike. Postepigastric area setae light, needlelike. Colulus represented only by setae.
