Females of the group can be separated from other species by the strongly sclerotised copulatory ducts with several turns, with inconspicuous primary spermathecae, a median lobe or septum, and medially located epigynal pockets ( Figure 6 (a–d, f–g)). Both males and females have the sternum longer than wide and the labium truncated with rounded anterior edges ( Figure 2 (g,k–l, q)).
