Etymology.
The specific epithet is taken from the Latin adjective
longidens
and means long-teeth-shaped, referring to the long epigynal teeth, adjective.
Diagnosis.
This new species can be separated from other members of this genus by the narrow median septum, slender epigynal teeth, thin copulatory ducts and thin spermathecae in the female.
