Diagnosis

males of this species are recognised by the simple palpal organs: the dorsolateral tibial apophysis with broad base, the split embolus with thin and short dorsal prong; the female has a simple epigyne with a longitudinal pale zone in the middle; the copulatory openings are at the margin of this zone just in front of the centre.
