Carapace creamy-yellow, with dark brown mediolateral markings, median line in front of and surrounding fovea, mottled spots behind PER, small brown spots laterally between coxal pairs; eye region black, with silver-white FS between median eyes, also between carapace markings; markings covered in black FS.

Chelicerae orangebrown; CPPM present; promargin with three slightly separated teeth, proximal tooth largest, distal tooth smallest; retromargin with six closely spaced teeth, proximal largest, remaining teeth decreasing in size distally. Endites and labium yellow-brown, cream distally; endites with distinct serrula; sternum shield-shaped, slightly broader than long, creamy-orange, with black median marking anteriorly. Legs with femora to tibiae cream, metatarsi and tarsi yellow-brown, with scattered short straight brown setae; black markings covered in black FS; femora with band at 2/3 their length and narrow distal black ring dorsally; patellae with dense black mottling proximally, distally and laterally; tibiae and metatarsi with broad median band; tarsi without markings.
