Etymology: The species name is derived from Latin word “curvus”, which means “bent”, and refers to the coiled copulatory ducts; adjective.

Diagnosis: The female can be easily recognized by the absence of epigynal teeth, the coiled copulatory ducts, and the widely separated, round spermathecae (Figs 77-78).

Description: Female (holotype). Median sized Coelotinae , total length 5.70 (Fig. 81). Dorsal shield of prosoma 2.35 long, 1.95 wide; opisthosoma 3.40 long, 2.75 wide. AME smallest, 2 /3 size of other eyes, which are subequal ( AME 0.08, ALE 0.12, PME 0.12, PLE 0.12); anterior eyes close together, separated by half of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by half of their diameter, from PLE by slightly more than half of their diameter (AME-AME 0.04, AME-ALE 0.04, ALE-PLE 0. 04, PME-PME 0.06, PME-PLE 0.08, AME-PME 0.07) (Fig. 82). Chelicera with 3 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth. Labium wider than long ( L / W =0.88) (Fig. 83). Epigynum without epigynal teeth; atrium small, two times wider than long, close to epigastric furrow; copulatory ducts originating posteriorly, strongly coiled with at least two to three coils; spermathecal bases small, round, widely separated by two times their width; spermathecal stalks slender, anteriorly extending and converging, covered by copulatory ducts in dorsal view; spermathecal heads arising distally, slightly extending laterally (Figs 77-80).
