The overall appearance, incomplete hind coxal margins, distribution, and lack of coloration are consistent with placing this species in the Rala Identification Group.

|

<normalizedToken originalValue="µm">µm</normalizedToken>
|

, and especially considering the very few number of specimens examined, we do not consider slight variations in pedipalp tibial length to be good evidence for separate species. Furthermore, our material from New Mexico includes specimens with tibiae in between the previously recorded specimens (32.5
