). This specimen has a morphological pattern similar to a normal male: a rounded carapace with the thoracic fovea in the form of a shallow rounded pit and a rectangular abdomen which is slightly wider anteriorly. It also exhibits a typical male coloration. However, the pedipalps are not fully developed (not showing any sclerites of the functional male palp) and resemble those of females but with the tarsus slightly elongated. Also, this specimen displays a sclerotized plate in the place of the female epigynum, but the plate is rudimentary and does not exhibit the morphological complexity of a fully developed epigynum. The leg spination is more reminiscent of that of females than that of males. The poor degree of development of the palps and epigynum support our classification that this is a case of intersexuality. This agrees with the intersexuality definition adopted by

who considered intersex as cases in which, although parts of the spider may be predominantly female and other parts predominantly male, the distinction is less definite because certain organs, such as palps and epigynum, may be very poorly developed.
