Description

Males have a cephalothorax covered in pearly scale-hairs that are more numerous on the sides and anterior to the eye-field, which has a metallic shine. The eye-field is dark brown with black eye surroundings, and there is a fringe above the anterior eyes. The abdomen is mottled brown, darkening posteriorly, with a light creamy belt around the anterior half and a cream central longitudinal stripe with paired spots on the sides. Females have a brown cephalothorax with a greyish-light brown eye-field containing numerous creamy scales and scattered brown bristles. The thoracic area and sides are lighter and mottled orange with white scales. The abdomen is covered with brownish scale-hairs and displays a pattern of three yellow transverse stripes joining a central longitudinal stripe, with a wide yellow stripe bordering the anterior abdomen. The male palpal organ is characterized by a relatively small tegulum and a long, wavy embolus positioned at 9 o'clock. Females have epigynal fossae without distinctive borders, divided by a wide median guide, with a strongly sclerotised posterior epigynal edge and elongate, L-shaped spermathecae.
