Males chelicerae are not protruding when viewed from above, and contain three promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. The tibia of the male palps has a poorly developed flange, and a sinuous apophysis; the diameter of the tegulum is approximately two-thirds the length of the cymbium. The cymbium contains two larger setae at the distal tip. Females have small, round spermathecae that are separated from each other; there are also two lateral pouches that are found in contact with each other.
