Diagnosis

males of this species are recognized by the combination of sclerites in the male palp: the large VTA, the small spine-shaped DTA and the large curved prong accompanying the embolus along its dorsal side. The female has a simple epigyne with a clearly delimited inverted v-shaped ridge in front, a pale zone on posterior half.
