Carapace light cream colored, gray pigmentation behind ocular area leading to midline and around edges. Legs pale yellow / cream. Abdomen with paired faint gray blotches on a light gray background. All eyes approximately equal in size, except for AMEs, ~ 1/3 width of ALEs. Eyes with rings of dark pigment. CL 1.39, CW 1.16, abdomen length 1.89, total body length 3.28. Leg I total length 8.66 (2.41, 0.54, 2.48, 2.25, 0.98), leg formula 1423, leg I / CW ratio 7.5. Paracymbium possesses a hook-shaped paradistal process with a well-sclerotized ventral edge and a long prolaterally-directed extension. Paracymbial dorsal process transparent and concave. Distal paracymbial process directed anteriorly, rounded, with a serrate edge. Ventral paracymbial process triangular with a blunted anterior edge. Median apophysis oval with a sharp anterior edge. Tegular process elongate, narrowing distally, and directed anteriorly. Nose-like bulge at the base of the tegular apophysis. Distal tip of conductor bent and directed prolaterally.
