Can be distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characteristics: cephalothorax without two pointed tubercles behind the ALE; clypeus sexually dimorphic armed in males with a large, wide, and apically bilobated prominence, roughly cordiform; chelicerae sexually dimorphic, with a strong, straight triangular projection (as large as the clypear prominence) in males; male pedipalp with conical cymbium with a very long sub-apical finger-like apophysis; embolus mostly straight, with small pointed paraembolic lamina; females with four small chitinous abdominal pockets; vulva with a pair of thin and extremely elongated spermathecae (about 50 times as long as wide) and with uterus externus not columnar, undivided, ending in a very narrow neck.

The cephalothorax almost entirely moderate yellow with almost imperceptible lateral and medial strips of light green, blackish at the medial half around the eyes. Chelicerae are entirely moderate yellow. Endites and sternum moderate yellow with remnants of light green pigmentation barely distinguishable. Abdomen yellowish white with remnants of strong green pigmentation around the spinnerets. Palps and legs moderate yellow.

The clade containing the type species of Fageicera (i.e., Dumitrescu &amp; Georgescu’s original concept) corresponds to the eastern clade (E). The dated tree is re-drawn based on Li et al. (2020); branch supports are posterior probabilities, and only values smaller than 1 are shown. The time scale is in millions of years. Yellow bars represent confidence intervals in the estimated time of divergences. The blue bar in the background indicates the timing of the formation of the hypothesized land bridge of GAARlandia." figureDoi="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14596035" httpUri="https://zenodo.org/record/14596035/files/figure.png" pageId="16" pageNumber="280">Fig. 13</figureCitation>
