Key characters
Adult female (Figs. 1, 2)
reticulate, large regular cells centrally; medium cells sublaterally (Figs. 3, 4)
prodorsal setae long, broadly lanceolate, heavily barbed (Fig. 3)
Central Opisthosoma
c1-d1: even reticulation, large regular cells (Figs. 5, 6)
d1-e1: reticulation becoming a series of short transverse folds (Figs. 7, 8)
e1-h1: series of short transverse bands becoming reticulation towards h1 (Figs. 9, 10)
Sublateral Opisthosoma
reticulate with regular medium cells, with smaller cells laterally (Fig. 8)
Dorsal Setae
c2, c3, d3, e3, f2, f3 > c1 > d1, h2 > e1, h1 (d1 and e1 often same length)
Venter
3a to 4a: cuticle more or less smooth, with extremely fine transverse striae (Figs. 11, 12)
4a to ventral plate: cuticle with even large rounded cells laterally; cuticle smooth centrally with extremely fine transverse striae (Fig. 10).
ventral plate: anterior cuticle smooth; posterior cuticle with medium cells (Figs. 13, 14)
genital plate: large rounded cells (Figs. 13, 14)
femur with 0 setae; genu with 1 dorsal seta; tibia with 2 setae; tarsus with 3 setae (sensory)
dorsal opisthosomal setae d1, e1, h1, h2 minute
remaining dorsal setae longer (v2, sc1, sc2, c3 > c2 > f3 > d3, e3, f2)
