Diagnosis. Males can be separated by the hook-shaped E and MA. Both the E and MA are short necked with a rather blunt end (Figs 33 A–C). Further, the E is much shorter than that of Asian species. Females can be separated by the CO, which face each other, and also by the C-shaped epigyne (Figs 34 A–D, 38E, F).
