Labium not fused to sternum; with setae. Endites anteromedian tip unmodified, posteromedian part unmodified. Female palp spines absent; tarsus unmodified, patella without prolateral row of ridges, femur twice as long as patella, patella and tibia subequal, tarsus more than twice as long as tibia. ABDOMEN: ovoid, without long posterior extension, rounded posteriorly, inter-scutal membrane rows of small sclerotized platelets absent posteriorly, elongated ovoid; dorsum soft portions white, without color pattern. Book lung covers ovoid, anterolateral edge unmodified, medium-sized. Not covered with white, matted setae.

Dorsal scutum strongly sclerotized, yellow, without color pattern, covering less than 1/2 of abdomen, middle surface smooth, sides smooth, anterior half without projecting denticles, dS small, ovoid, covering only 1/4 of abdomen length; DS anteriorly possibly fused to ES. Epigastric scutum strongly sclerotized, surrounding pedicel, not protruding, small lateral sclerites absent, yellow. Postepigastric scutum strongly sclerotized, yellow, not fused to epigastric scutum, pES short, leaving more than half of ventral abdomen uncovered, rounded posteriorly. Lateral apodemes of medium length. Spinneret scutum present, incomplete ring, spinneret scutum a narrow, 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. Colulus present, colulus small, sporting two setae.. LEGS: yellow, without color pattern; femur IV not thickened, same size as femora I-III, patella plus tibia I shorter than carapace. Leg spines absent. Tarsi I to IV superior claws tooth not examined in detail. Trichobothria examined with Stereo microscope; tibia: each with three; metatarsus: each with one; each leg with four dorsal trichobothria: one on proximal tibia, two on distal tibia, one on distal metatarsus. GENITALIA: Ventral view: anterior margin of PES appears to form a scape-like structure that extends almost the entire length of the PES. Posterior tip of scape narrower than rest of scape. A red-brown stripe extending along length of scape. On both sides of scape a longitudinal row of setae..
