Remarks

The ZSI collection has one glass tube for this species, which is labeled as “ holotype ” (no register number) containing one female specimen in fairly good condition, with broken legs and chelicerae and almost detached opisthosoma. The same tube has a small glass vial containing the dissected genitalia. The label mentions the year of collection as “1987”.
