The examination of this specimen revealed the presence of an underdeveloped pair of bulbs and the epigyne (Figs 3–4, 7–9). By an overall habitus, body length (Table 1), thick legs, presence of a short, dark, and broad fovea (cf. Fig. 3 and Fig. 1), the intersexual T. chachetiensis falls into the female category; however, the carapace ornamentation (the thin light irregular and anteriorly interrupted margin in particular) corresponds more to that of the males (cf. Fig. 3 and Fig. 11; Otto and Japoshvili 2018: fig. 39). There are no differences in the carapace length-width ratios of males and females examined in the present study and those given in the previous research, as all values fall within the same range (see Table 1). Both pedipalps have laterally depressed femur and patella (Fig. 3); cymbium yellow (vs. brown in males) (cf. Fig. 4, 9 and Fig. 11), with a distally located thin slit replacing a normally developed alveolus on the ventral side. Within this slit, malformed structures resembling the embolus, median apophysis, and tegulum are visible. The epigyne is ca. 2.8 × smaller in height than fully developed, less sclerotized, with an anteriorly reduced median septum (lacking septal stem) and epigynal hoods (cf. Fig. 5 and Fig. 7). Unlike the fully developed female, the intersexual completely lacked the endogyne (cf. Fig. 6 and Fig. 8).</p><p>Thus, in terms of size, the specimen more closely resembles females of T. cachetiensis than males (Table 1). However, the carapace pattern and the presence of a pair of underdeveloped bulbs align it with males. It would have been particularly valuable to investigate the specimen’s behavioural traits to determine how it functionally identified, but this was not possible as its abnormal morphology was noticed after preservation. Following the classification of Roberts and Parker (1973), the specimen is best regarded as a transverse regular intersexual. It is also noteworthy that sexual abnormalities have been documented in other congeners, such as the gynandromorph T. terricola Thorell, 1856 from the Netherlands (Wiebes 1959).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4377DE67F0C5553EA820301A85FE722C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
