ALE-ALE: separated by more than their diameter; ALE-PLE: separated by less than PLE radius; PME-PME: almost touching; PLE-PME: separated by PME diameter, ALE oval, PME circular, PLE oval; posterior eye row recurved from above. Sternum longer than wide, yellow-brown, uniform, fused to carapace, median concavity absent, with radial furrows between coxae I-II, II-III, III-IV, surface smooth, without posterior hump; setae abundant. Mouthparts: Chelicerae, endites and labium yellow-brown. Chelicerae anterior face unmodified, sparse setae on anterior face of paturon; fangs shape normal, without prominent basal process, tip unmodified. Endites anteromedian tip unmodified, posteromedian part unmodified. Female palp spines absent; tarsus unmodified, patella without prolateral row of ridges, female palp brown, without spines; femur approximately twice as long as patella; patella about as long as tibia, without prolateral row of ridges, without leaf-like setae; tibia with three dorsal trichobothria; tarsus not expanded, twice as long as tibia. ABDOMEN: ovoid, without long posterior extension, inter-scutal membrane rows of small sclerotized platelets absent posteriorly. Book lung covers large, ovoid, without setae, anterolateral edge unmodified. Pedicel tube short, scuto-pedicel region unmodified, plumose hairs absent, matted setae on anterior ventral abdomen in pedicel area absent, pedicel tube short, without triangular extensions, without fringe of setae; scuto-pedicel region without ridges or denticles, with small oval glands. Dorsal scutum strongly sclerotized, covering full length of abdomen, no soft tissue visible from above, not fused to epigastric scutum, middle surface smooth, sides smooth, anterior half without projecting denticles. Epigastric scutum strongly sclerotized, surrounding pedicel, small lateral sclerites absent, eS light brown. Postepigastric scutum strongly sclerotized, not fused to epigastric scutum, pES light brown, long, leaving less than 1/4 of abdomen length uncovered. Lateral apodemes visible through integument. Spinneret scutum present, incomplete ring, spinneret scutum present, incomplete ring, with fringe of needle-like setae. Anal scutum present.. Spinneret scutum with fringe of needle-like setae. Dense patch of setae anterior to spinnerets absent. Interscutal membrane with setae. Colulus present, colulus small, sclerotized, sporting two setae. Spinnerets: ALS: aLS bisegmented, with one major ampullate gland spigot and three piriform gland spigots; PMS: pMS unisegmented, with four spigots; PLS: pLS bisegmented, with six spigots. LEGS: femur IV not thickened, same size as femora I-III, patella plus tibia I shorter than carapace, tibia I unmodified, coxae leg color: base color white-yellow, femora I-IV with distal darkening, tibiae I-IV and metatarsi III-IV with basal darkening, tibiae tibia III with group of specialized setae on ventral apex, tarsi tarsal claws examined with SEM; superior claws I-II with 3-4 large, proximally situated teeth on lateral surfaces, about 10 small, distally situated teeth on median surfaces; superior claws III-IV with 2-4 large, proximally situated teeth on lateral surfaces, about 3 small, distally situated teeth on median surfaces; inferior claw absent. Leg spines absent. Trichobothria examined with SEM; tibia: each with three; metatarsus: each with one; aperture internal texture grate-like, hood covered by numerous low, closely spaced ridges, each leg with four dorsal trichobothria: one on proximal tibia, two on distal tibia, one on distal metatarsus. Tarsal organ tarsal organ exposed, legs I-II with three receptors, legs III-IV with two receptors. GENITALIA: Shape: externally a prominent scape-like structure; in posterior part of scape a short longitudinal groove. Posterior of the scape a small cone-like structure; in anterior surface of cone a narrow groove (this groove may be a continuation of the groove in the scape). Internal genitalia consisting of apodemes, two uterine sclerites, and a genital duct. Anterior uterine sclerite T-shaped. Posterior uterine sclerite plate-like. Proximal part of genital duct relatively broad, with two rows of finger-like protrusions; distal part of duct narrow, ascending along posterior uterine sclerite, lacking protrusions. On either side of duct a pair of small tubular structures, presumably glands; these glands open to the outside via small pores situated lateral of the scape.
