Morphology. Carapace: Anterior margin with a weak concavity; lustrous and acarinate, with minute punctation behind median eyes; lateral sides with very thin granulation; furrows shallow. Sternum pentagonal, wider than long. Tergites acarinate, smooth and shiny with punctations. Pectinal tooth count 8­8, fulcra absent. Sternites smooth and shiny, VII acarinate; spiracles small oval in shape. Metasomal segments with a lustrous tegument; dorsal carinae weak on all segments; latero­dorsal carinae vestigial on segments I and II, absent on III and IV; other carinae absent; segment V with small spinoid granulations on distal half of ventral aspect; vesicle smooth and lustrous. Pedipalps: Femur with dorsal internal, dorsal external and ventral internal carinae strongly marked; ventral external carina weakly marked; dorsal and ventral faces without granulations, smooth; internal face moderately granular. Patella smooth and lustrous; dorsal internal and ventral internal carinae moderate; ventral external carinae weak to vestigial; other carinae absent. Chela lustrous; ventral median and dorsal internal carinae weak; other carinae vestigial or absent; internal face with a few weak granules, other faces smooth. Dentate margins on movable and fixed fingers with a median denticle row composed of 8 groups of granules. Chelicerae with the dentition typical of the family
