GENITALIA: (Fig. 58) Pygophore: Ovoid; slightly expanded laterally near base of paramere in dorsal view; posteriorly expanded sac-like sclerite between paramere and medial process. Medial process robust; broad; short; posteriorly directed; basally slightly protruding; apex in posterior view truncate, with very inconspicuous lateral prongs. Paramere: Cylindrical; moderately long, not reaching apex of medial process; directed posteriad; slightly curved dorsad; apical part not enlarged. Phallus: Dorsal phallothecal sclerite shield-shaped; lateral expansion arising close to base; apical portion of phallothecal sclerite not distinctly tapered, flat, laterally angulate; apex rounded; posterior margin of foramen broadly concave.

Two disjunct populations are recognized for this species, one in Southern Brazil and another in Central America and Northern South America. The latter represents a species formerly described by Champion,

, as in both species the females show a swollen femur and the medial processes of males are broad. However, male genitalia of the two populations are somewhat different and may warrant a further closer examination. In any area in which the species occurs there is apparently a great range of color and pattern variations, but there does seem to be a general trend toward the lighter colorations in Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama.
