Sharply contrasting, nearly white accents caused by ventral crescent-shaped membranes between coxae and trochanters and by a triangular whitish spot on hind part of eye mound continuing also on dorsal and frontal surface but here already darkening and vanishing. Penis dark yellowish, with dark brown sclerotized margins of „spoon”. Smaller specimens with weaker chelicerae and lighter coloration: on light brown (in some parts even yellowish!) background blackish brown spots on carapace and a saddle on the abdomen, saddle constricted just behind eye mound and triangularly broadening backwards.

). Smaller males with smaller chelicerae have probably reached adulthood in an earlier instar. Some of them have even a lighter coloration. The females show variability in body coloration, which is probably not related to age but to their degree of sclerotization (the lighter individuals can be much bigger than the dark ones – in the same series).
