Small to median-sized spiders (TL males 5.19.8, females 8.217.7). PS longer than wide, fovea distinct, longitudinal, located in posterior half. Head region between 0.5 times (males) and 0.65 times (females) the width of the prosoma. Striae distinct in preserved specimens, not so in live spiders. Prosoma in lateral view with straight outline dorsally until fovea, then steeply sloping almost in a straight line to posterior margin. Eight eyes arranged in two rows, anterior row narrower and recurved, posterior row procurved (

and therefore not always observable due to the dissection method. The median septum is strongly sclerotised and has radial grooves in most species and a few transversal grooves in some species. In continuation of the septum there are two epigynal pockets posteriorly, sometimes visible in ventral view, best seen in posterior view. The copulatory openings are slit-like and located laterally to the septum. The IDS begins with a membranous part running from laterally to antero-medially, where it widens into a dorsal pouch, which merges into a narrower sclerotised part with median windings, with a glandular appendage on each side. Fertilisation ducts run from postero-medially first anteriorly, then laterally ventral to the copulatory ducts in a semicircle to the posterior margin (

This greatly dilates the opening and deforms the median septum. The embolic division is then expanded and the tip of the embolus is in its final position close to the glandular appendages (
