paratype
from

,
M. Ramírez
, deposited in MACN-Ar, reexamined).
Diagnosis:
It resembles other species of the
ornata
group by the modified male chelicerae and the epigyne with smooth, heart shaped median field close to the epigastric furrow (
Figs 34f
,
11b, c
). It can be distinguished by lacking the lateral projections on the male endites and by the long, straight ducts of the female accessory bulbs.
Description:
Male and female are described in
Ramírez (2003)
.
