Species can be separated by their own pattern, presence or absence of annulation of legs, spination, number of cheliceral teeth, shape of cymbium, shape and size of dorsal cymbial process, shape of conductor, relative length of embolus (and its loop), shape of septum, relative width of septal stem, and the presence or absence of lateral hoods of the stem.
