Our specimens correspond well to the original description, both in genital and somatic features. The females were black with yellow-orange front of the prosoma. The males had red hairs covering the posterior part of the carapace, femora of the legs II, and all segments of III and IV pairs of legs, except the tarsi, which were brownish. All males were found in spring (April–June).
