Postepigastric scutum dark red-brown, long, semicircular, covering nearly full length of abdomen (figs. 285–287). Legs:Pale orange, without color pattern. Leg spination (only surfaces bearing spines listed, all spines longer than segment width): tibiae: I, II p2-1-1; r1-1-1; metatarsi: I, II p1-1-0; r1-1-0. Genitalia:Epigastric region with sperm pore situated at level of anterior spiracles ( fig. 295). Palp proximal segments pale orange; cymbium pale orange, without distal patch of setae; bulb pale orange (figs. 290, 292). Embolus dorsal lamella with at least three distal apophyses, ventral lamella with at least two apophyses (figs. 309–312). Palp as in figures 307 and 308. Female(PBI_OON 0003569): Total length 2.3.
