VTA retrolaterally displaced; RTA medially bent in retrolateral view; MA arising from tegulum at 5:30 o’clock position; TBC cave-like; E arising from tegulum at 7 o’clock position ( Figs 54–56, 59–61).  Female (IBSP 121338):Coloration pattern as in male, slightly lighter ( Figs 52–53). Total length 13.4. Prosoma: 4.9 long, 4.2 wide. Opisthosoma: 8.0 long, 4.9 wide. Eye diameters: 0.32, 0.28, 0.20, 0.26; interdistances: 0.24, 0.14, 0.46, 0.48, 0.18, 0.16.
