Patella long; tibia extremely elongated, approximately 3 and half time longer than patella. Two apophyses (TA) on the retrodistal margin of tibia close to each other: ventral apophysis large and lanceolate; dorsal apophysis spine-like, larger at its base and ending with a sharp and long tip. Cymbium with several long spines on dorsal and distal margin, headed antero-prolaterally, ending with a long spine (= tarsal spur) similar to the others. Bulb with two transparent sclerite; median sclerite (MS) long and tread-like, twisted in middle trait; retrolateral sclerite (RS) wide and transparent, ribbon-like and wrinkled, wrapped around embolus.

can be found in the twilight zone and, more commonly, in the humid and dark zone in the deep of the cave. It usually spins small webs in the crevices and among the rocks at the base of the cave walls or on the cave floor. The populations can be locally abundant being distributed in a large area inside the cave; in other cases the specimens occupy only a limited section of the cave where the microclimate is more favorable for this species (F. Ballarin pers. obs.).

is relatively common and recorded from several caves in central and southern Ryukyus, during our surveys we could not find this species in some of the localities where its presence was historically documented. It is possible that the microclimate conditions of some of the caves might have changed along the years due to the increasing urbanization and consequent human activities (Y. Suzuki pers. comm.).
