Male metafemur with toothlike process at apex of posterior margin; metafemur unmodified in female. In both sexes, meso- and metatibiae broad and spinose. Male with more dense setae ventrally on pro- and mesotarsi. Median lobe of aedeagus ( Fig. 57 ) elongate, broad, with inwardly curved, paired apices. Parameres slender, straight or weakly curved, reaching beyond apex of median lobe, each bearing 2 apical setae. Inverted internal sac with elongate rod-like structure divided in basal half. Spermatheca of two connected spheres. Type material . Holotype , male, with the following label data: “DOM[INICAN] REP[UBLIC]: San Cristobal / Prov. Borbon, Cuevas / Pomier , trop. decid. for./ 200m , leaf litter, 28.VII./ 95, S.+ J. Peck , 95- 48” ( SBPC ) .
