); carapace surface smooth, with black feathery setae covering markings, white feathery setae between them and short straight setae laterally; several long curved setae on clypeus, eye region and along midline from PER to midpoint; carapace broad, slightly longer than wide, broadest at posterior of coxae II, eye region narrowed, posterior margin straight or very slightly concave; fovea distinct, short and broad; carapace with single pair of small round shallow granulate pits either side of midline, situated half the distance between PME and fovea. All eyes with black rings; AER procurved, AME larger than ALE; AME separated by slightly more than ½ their diameter, close to ALE; PER procurved, PLE slightly larger than PME; PME closer to PLE than to each other; MOQ width nearly equal anteriorly and posteriorly, slightly longer than wide. Chilum distinct, narrow and broad, single or bilateral; cheliceral surface finely granulate, with many long erect setae on anterior surface of paturon; cheliceral promargin with three teeth, retromargin with two to five teeth; shaggy seta absent; curved setae on cheliceral promargin finely plumose in both sexes; endites straight or slightly concave laterally, sometimes enlarged distally, with distinct serrula and dense maxillar hair tuft; labium nearly semi-circular, with round distal margin, wider than long. Pleural bars weakly sclerotised, isolated; sternum shield-shaped, as long as broad or slightly broader than long, slightly narrowed anteriorly; surface smooth, covered in long erect straight setae; precoxal triangles absent; intercoxal sclerites usually absent, when present between coxae I &amp; II and II &amp; III. Leg formula usually 4312, rarely 4132; legs strongly spined, all segments covered in feathery and short straight setae, feathery setae only dorsally and laterally on metatarsi and tarsi; retrocoxal window present, quite large and distinct; femora with several long erect ventral setae; all patellae with proximal and distal long fine dorsal setae, clearly shorter than patellar length; patellar indentation narrow, broad at proximal end; anterior tibiae with three pairs of ventral spines, anterior metatarsi with two pairs of ventral spines and pair of terminal spines; tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi with several dorsal trichobothria; metatarsi III much longer than metatarsi I and II; anterior metatarsi distally with weak scopula, posterior metatarsi with distal preening brush; tarsi weakly scopulate; paired tarsal claws short, situated lateral to very dense claw tufts. Abdomen oval, cream to dark grey, without markings or with mottled or chevron markings; several pairs of fine straight setae on anterior margin above pedicel; dorsal scutum usually absent; one or two pairs of weakly sclerotised dorsal sigilla sometimes present; dorsum densely covered in black and white or yellow feathery setae corresponding to markings, with scattered short straight setae; epigastric region weakly sclerotised, venter without post-epigastric sclerites and ventral sclerite, sometimes with two paired rows of indistinct tiny sclerites from epigastric furrow to spinnerets; inframamillary sclerite sometimes present, indistinct and weakly sclerotised; venter densely covered in feathery and long straight setae. Female epigyne strongly sclerotized with large epigynal ridges including copulatory openings, ridges usually in anterior half of epigyne, variable in shape (
