The male has distinctive features including mandibles that are only slightly longer than broad and nearly hairless at the tip, with deep transverse striping. The patella is slightly longer than broad and rounded at the end, while the tarsus is considerably longer than the two preceding segments combined. The female cephalothorax measures 3.4 × 2.7 mm, with the abdomen measuring 5 × 2.7 mm. Leg measurements for the female are: I. 8.1; II. 6.8; III. 6.9; IV. 7.4 mm. The patella and tibia of leg IV together measure 2.2 mm, with the tibia alone measuring 2.7 mm.
