Femora clavate; tibiae dilated apically, almost straight, slightly longer than femora, with two apical spines at inner margin. Tarsi nearly as long as tibia, without dense setae ventrally, with few semierect setae; tarsal formula 4-4-4. Relative length ratios of metatarsomeres 14 equal to 5:3:3:7.

) possess a similar set of general morphological characters, and are without a doubt, morphologically close species that clearly differ from Recent European congeners. It is possible that the new species could be the female of the previously described Eocene species, and that the differences described herein could be interpreted as sexual characters or intraspecific variation. Despite the general morphological similarity, between the two fossil species we suggest that the new species is distinct, and that it can be discerned based upon the full combination of aforementioned characters. However, it is worth noting that assessing reliable specific differences in Eocene
