Carapace: elongate-oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica slightly elevated above thorax, pars thoracica distinctly wider than pars cephalica; integument smooth, with sparse, erect, thin, dark bristles on pars cephalica (bristles detach easily in ethanol); yellow or pale orange, slightly darker in ocular region, without distinct pattern; fovea longitudinal, reddish. Clypeus height distinctly less than diameter of AME. Chelicerae robust, brownish red, fang furrow with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Sternum yellowish, anteriorly straight, anterior and lateral margins with brown extensions fitted into intercoxal concavities; posterior region strongly protruded between coxae IV. Eyes: arranged in a compact group; AER slightly recurved in dorsal view, procurved in anterior view, AME very slightly smaller than ALE, or equal in diameter, AME closer to ALE than to each other; PER recurved in dorsal view, PME distinctly larger than PLE, PME separated by one diameter. Legs: formula usually IV, I, II, III; all tarsi scopulate; anterior metatarsi with a pair of basal ventral spines; tibiae I and II with two pairs of strong ventral spines; tibiae and metatarsi of posterior legs with more spines than anterior legs, but spination varies among different individuals. Abdomen: lanceolate, tapered posteriorly, uniformly white, dorsum with numerous indistinct patches, or anteriorly with a longitudinal, grey heart mark; venter, sides white, without distinct markings.
