Female (PBI_OON 16067). Total length 2.97. As in male except as noted. CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapace without any pattern, broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica slightly elevated in lateral view, anteriorly narrowed to 0.49 times its maximum width or less. Mouthparts: fangs without prominent basal process. Endites anteromedian tip unmodified. Female palp claws absent; spines present, formula: femur v2-1-2; tarsus unmodified; trichobothria tibia with three trichobothria. ABDOMEN: Dorsal scutum covering less than 1/2 of abdomen, not fused to epigastric scutum. Epigastric scutum slightly protuding. Postepigastric scutum widely hexagonal, with short posteriorly directed lateral apodemes. Spinneret scutum present, incomplete ring. LEGS: patella plus tibia I longer than carapace. Leg spination (only surfaces bearing spines listed, all spines longer than segment width): femora: I p0-1-2; r0-1-0; II p0-1-1; tibiae: I, II p2-1-1; r2-1-1; metatarsi: I, II p1-1-0; r1-1-0. Tarsi I to IV superior claws tooth not examined in detail. Trichobothria examined with Compound microscope. GENITALIA: Shape: the posterior margin of the epigastric scutum is lined with numerous needle-like hairs. In the middle of the slightly thickened margin of the postepigastric scutum starts a dark strongly winding tube running posteriorly.
