Etymology. The species epithet is a noun in apposition taken from type locality.
Diagnosis. Differs from others species by the abdomen being dorsally dark gray with a longitudinal strip of yellow hairs, mainly seen on live animals ( Figs 11 View FIGURE 11 C, D), palpal bulb with PIK and PSK close and parallel ( Figs 5 View FIGURE 5 A–C) in males and spermathecae with large nodules, mainly in apical portion ( Figs 5 View FIGURE 5 E, F)
