Description
Annandaliella ermakulamensis has three peg-like setae on the inside of the chelicerae, a tibial comb consisting of long black setae on a tibial apophysis (i.e. a protrusion), and a long, tapering embolus without any apical keels. It is reddish brown, but on the cephalothorax it has thick dark bands radiating from the fovea, a grove in the center of the cephalothorax, to the coxae of the legs and the ocularium.
