Females of D. amaiti can be diagnosed from females of other Devendra species by having the median lobe of epigynum trapezoidal, angularly convex posteriorly ( Fig. 13D View FIGURE 13 ) and the vulva with the head of the spermathecae sessile on the main spermathecae and the fertilization ducts arising from an elongate tube ( Fig. 13E, F View FIGURE 13 ).
DesCription. Female (holotype): Total length 4.67. Markings as in Fig. 9A, D View FIGURE 9 . Carapace 2.42 long, 1.75 wide, 0.83 high; clypeus 0.07 high. Eyes diameter: AME 0.07, ALE 0.10, PME 0.09, PLE 0.10. Chelicerae 1.00 long; sternum 1.08 long, 0.96 wide; labium 0.40 long; palpal coxae 0.76 long. Spination as in genus description.
