Chelicerae cream-coloured proximally and prolaterally, grey-brown medially, light orange-coloured distally. Ventral side of palpal coxae and of sternum light orange-coloured, contrasting with slightly darker labium and leg coxae. Legs and palps mostly dark brown on dorsal side, apart from distal half of tarsi I-II slightly lighter than proximal half and apart from an indistinct light median mark on leg tibiae; ventral side of legs with distinct light median mark on tibiae I-II and with an indistinct one on tibiae III-IV; ventral side of leg femora with distinct light median and proximal marks (remnants of annulations; see also Variation), plus scattered dark spots; ventral side of palpal tibia and femur light, with scattered dark spots; palpal tarsus and cheliceral claw dark reddish brown. Opisthosoma with light greyish brown membranous cuticle and with light orangecoloured sternites; tergite I entirely dark brown; tergite II mostly dark brown, with orange-coloured paramedian-posterior marks; tergites III-VII mostly light orange-coloured, with large dark marks, with a pair of dark paramedian-posterior marks and with scattered small dark spots; tergite VIII very small, entirely dark.

All males examined have: three ridges (two thick and one thin) reaching the apex of the sclerotised embolus part; a swollen membranous area prolaterally-proximally on the embolus complex; a beak-like dorsal apex of the distal contrategular edge; a rather indistinct proximal ledge on the retrodorsal side of the contrategulum; a short and only slightly bent proximal tegular edge. In the largest female (the allotype) the annulation (a light median ring) of metatarsi I-II is completely broken on the dorsal side (being entirely dark); in medium-sized females there are small light spots on the dorsal side of metatarsi I-II (i.e. a partially broken annulation); in smaller females the annulation of metatarsi I-II is entire, as it is on metatarsi III-IV and on all tibiae. Variation in the shape of the vulval plate is considerable (

The spiders were found on earth banks on the side of a rural road and on the sides of a stream in a disturbed evergreen hill forest. All burrows were closed by a single trapdoor and had up to eight signal lines attached to the entrance. Penultimate males had the front door 1.45-1.9 cm long and 2.2-2.5 cm wide. The largest female had a 2.1 cm long and 2.9 cm wide door.

<paragraph blockId="42.[151,757,369,1060]" pageId="42" pageNumber="416">Males matured in captivity between mid and end-June in the first year after capture (on June 8 and 9), between early May and the beginning of July in the second year, and in late May of the third year. The mating period in nature appears to be in May to June; possibly even much earlier, as indicated by the find of 3rd instar spiderlings in the burrow of a female when it was captured in early June. In captivity another female built an egg case, 2.8 cm long, 3.0 cm wide and 2.0 cm high, containing 39 light yellow eggs suspended on a layer of fine silk, about 2.5 months after being captured. Mature females usually moulted twice per year: between November and March and again between May and July. The female that built an egg case subsequently moulted in December.</paragraph>
