May be distinguished by coloration of the legs: reddish on basal region and dark on distal end ( Fig. 39 ). Males may be distinguished by having bulb long, thin, and slightly curved in distal portion ( Figs. 35–36 ). Females may be distinguished by long spermathecae receptaculum, with lobes on distal end and a small basal lobe towards outside ( Fig. 37 ). Description . Male ( Holotype ). Total length: 19.87.
