Legs uniformly brown, hind tibiae with pale apex.” In the male: “Thorax deep brown, clothed with rather large pale creamy narrow-curved scales and brown chaetae [setae]; scutellum ochreous brown with narrow-curved pale creamy scales. …Clasper of genitalia very marked, broadly expanded apically with several large spines and one large curved broad spine at apex. …The genitalia are very peculiar, and the general pale scaled head and thorax, and the large pale basal abdominal patches, should at once separate it.”
