“ Eyes. Seen from in front, anterior row recurved so that a line tangent to dorsal borders of ALE cuts off about one fifteenth of the diameter of AME. Posterior row wider than anterior row in ratio of about 10 : 9, wider than middle row in ratio of about 17 : 14. Quadrangle of laterals wider than long in ratio of 25 : 18. Total eye space occupies twenty thirty-firsts of the length of the carapace. Ratio of eyes AME : ALE : PME : PLE = 15 : 8 : 2 : 7. AME nearly contiguous to one another and definitely so to ALE. Middle eyes closer to ALE than to PLE in ratio of about 4 : 3. ”

“ Abdomen. Rather small; ovoid, longer than wide in ratio of 11 : 7, widest near middle; with a moderately well developed dorsal shield covering practically entire dorsum; anal tubercle of moderate size; six spinnerets small, closely crowded, with anterior pair stoutest, approximated; position of colulus indicated by a tuft of black hairs; tracheal spiracle with distinct lip near base of spinnerets but no tubercle.
Color in alcohol. Carapace: almost uniformly mahogany reddish brown with a few white lanceolate hairs and slight iridescence. ”

“ Legs: first pair generally reddish brown with tarsi and middle of metatarsi yellowish white and numerous short white lanceolate hairs on dorsal surfaces especially of tibiae and patellae; second and third pairs yellowish white with distal two thirds of femora dark brown except dorsal surfaces and dark brown distal ends of patellae, tibiae, and metatarsi; fourth pair with femora reddish brown except a narrow dorsal stripe, both ends of patellae reddish brown and also distal ends of tibiae and metatarsi. ”
