Etymology. The specific name is from the Latin word rugosa , meaning “coarse”, referring to the texture of the part of the copulatory ducts near the spermathecae.

Diagnosis. The female can be distinguished from other congeners by the horseshoe-shaped atrium, and the coarse texture of part of the copulatory ducts near the spermathecae. Male unknown.

Eye interdistances: AME–AME 0.30, AME–ALE 0.18, ALE–ALE 1.50, PME–PME 0.46, PME–PLE 0.53, PLE–PLE 2.22, ALE–PLE 0.23. OAW 2.60, CRW 4.07, OAW/CRW = 0.64. MOA 1.07 long, front width 1.14, back width 1.21. Clypeus height 0.61, 1.36 times AME diameter. Chelicerae with three promarginal teeth and five retromarginal teeth. Labium 1.35 long, 1.36 wide. Sternum 3.48 long, 3.02 wide. Measurements of legs: leg I 22.41 (6.45 + 2.93 + 5.53 + 4.99 + 2.51), II 21.85 (6.32 + 2.86 + 5.16 + 4.89 + 2.62), III 17.60 (4.91 + 2.25 + 3.73 + 4.36 + 2.35), IV 22.91 (6.17 + 2.51 + 5.61 + 6.43 + 2.19).

Epigyne ( Figs 24E View FIGURE 24 , 25A View FIGURE 25 ): Vulva ( Figs 24F View FIGURE 24 , 25B View FIGURE 25 ): atrium horseshoe-shaped, wider than long, incompletely fused by COs, with protrusion on anterior margin medially. Vulva ( Figs 22F View FIGURE 22 , 23B View FIGURE 23 ): copulatory ducts anteriorly extremely inflated, almost round, partly membranous, posteriorly thin, rugose, running parallel before connecting spermathecae; accessory glands small, spherical; spermathecae small, close to each other.
