Fijocrypta vitilevu

The male Fijocrypta vitilevu can grow to a body length of nearly 9 millimetres (0.35 in) long. It has an orange-brown carapace with fine darker lines and darker areas towards the front. The chelicerae are also orange-brown, and the legs are yellow-brown without ring markings. The upper surface of the opisthosoma is brown with many small white spots. The lower surface is about equally brown and white. The palpal bulb is pear-shaped with a short blunt embolus at the end. Females have a somewhat longer body, growing up to 11 millimetres (0.43 in) long. They have a similar coloring, except the legs are orange-brown and the paler spots on the upper surface of the abdomen form either lines or chevrons rather than the seemingly random scatter of males. Fijocrypta can be distinguished from most other brushed trapdoor spiders in the western Pacific by the absence of a spur on the tibia of the first leg in males. Seqocrypta and Moruga males also lack this spur, but Fijocrypta males have two rows of teeth on the claws and the embolus doesn't have a fine tip.
