) Base color light orange to yellowish brown, paler on chelicerae, pedipalp, legs and pectines, pedipalp chelae and telson with a reddish hue. Cheliceral manus finely and irregularly reticulate with dark brown, denser distally; fingers deeply infuscate. Pedipalps densely and irregularly marbled with blackish brown, but sparser distally (much denser on femur, sparser on manus), with all carinae deeply infuscate and the base of most trichobothria much paler (yellowish); fingers blackish, with distal third much paler progressively (becoming yellowish at the tip). Carapace symmetrically and densely marbled with dark to blackish brown, anterior and lateral margins mostly pale; eyes and ocular tubercles black. Tergites symmetrically and densely marbled with dark to blackish brown, with a large orange spot along midline that defines a pale dashed line all along I–VI, plus a pair of much smaller and fainter posterolateral pale spots on each side that suggest a dark four-stripped pattern for the tergites. Pectines with shaft heavily and irregularly infuscate, but teeth essentially immaculate. Sternites colored and patterned similarly to tergites, but with a solid, narrow black stripe along midline (below ventral median carinae). Legs irregularly marbled with blackish brown, with pale and dark areas distributed in about the same proportion. Metasoma concolorous throughout (i.e., no segments conspicuously darker), densely and irregularly marbled with dark to blackish brown and with carinae deeply infuscate. Telson vesicle densely and irregularly marbled with dark to blackish brown, with four faint pale stripes corresponding to longitudinal furrows; aculeus orange, with distal third blackish.

Manus subtriangular in dorsal view (length/width ratio = 1.25, distally narrower) and oval in lateral view, sparsely setose and prismatic in cross-section; dorsal internal, dorsal marginal, dorsal secondary, digital, external secondary, ventroexternal and ventrointernal carinae complete (moderately strong, finely granulose to crenulate); tegument coriaceous, with a poorly defined reticulate pattern of small, glossy granules scattered all over. Fingers standard for the genus (movable 1.79 times longer than underhand), shallowly curved and sparsely setose, dentition standard for the genus, basal lobe/notch combination entirely absent.
