<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="103">Male total length 3.3-4.1 (n = 4); females 5.4-7.5 (n = 8). There are additional white speckles on the abdomen and white discontinuous lateral bands on the abdomens of some males and females. The epigyne scape was broken in all females measured here, with the exception of two, including the one illustrated. The colouration of live specimens is not known, but it is possible that this species displays greenish or even reddish shades when alive, which often fade into yellow-brown when preserved in ethanol.</paragraph>
