A large patch of dull green, iridescent scales on each anterior lateral margin of the fan is a useful feature for identification of this species, at least in our specimens. Other useful features include the abundance of white scales on the legs (except for the distal legs III) and pedipalps, the uniform cover of red-brown scales in the eye region, and the white tarsus III offset by the dark, red-brown to black appearance of the tibia and metatarsus III.

Much of the difference in observed colour of the iridescent background scales was due to either the relative direction of incident and reflected light, or to differences in moisture and humidity. Apart from the fairly simple and consistent black 'shield' with light blue center in the middle of this pattern, the complexity of the figures comprised of pigmented red scales on a background of iridescent scales allows individual spiders to be identified with ease.
