Body light orangish brown; abdomen tan.Cephalothorax: Propeltidium 1. 72 mm long; 1.00mm wide; with one seta on anterior process and onepair setae at base of anterior process; anterior processdrawn to point, not downturned. Propeltidiumwith one pair lateral setae about 1/3 from distalmargin, one seta on left in front of pair. Gap betweenmesopeltidial plates about 0.1 anterior widthof one plate. Metapeltidium undivided. Anteriorsternum with four setae plus one sternapophysialseta. Posterior sternum with four setae.Abdomen: Tergite I with row of two pairs (plusone extra seta on left side) anterior microsetae andone pair large dorsal setae on posterior margin; tergiteII with three pairs (plus one extra seta on leftside) anterior microsetae and one pair large dorsalposterior setae; tergites III-V with one pair dorsalsetae each; tergite VI with one pair large dorsal setaeand one small dorsolateral seta on left side; tergiteVII with one pair dorsal and one pair dorsolateralsetae, and one lateral seta on left side; tergiteVIII with one pair dorsal and one pair lateral setae;tergite IX with one pair lateral, and one dorsolateralseta on right side. Sternites III-IV with one rowsetae each; sternites V-IX with two distinctsubmarginal rows of setae. Sternite VI about twotimes as wide as long; width/length ratio versusbody length, 3.7. Segments X-XII not telescoped.Segment X with one pair lateral and six ventralsetae; segment XI with one pair lateral and sevenventral setae; segment XII with one pair dorsal, onepair dorsolateral, one pair lateral, and seven ventralsetae. Flagellum (Figs. 36-37, 97-99) 0.84 mmlong, 0.24 mm wide, tubular, without lateral lobes;vmS seta is either missing or it is one of theoff-centered pairs labeled d12, in which case one ofthe dl2 setae is missing (aberrant individual).Pedipalps (Fig. 100): Trochanter not produceddistally; with scattered setae on ventral and ventromesalsurfaces; femur, patella, tibia, andbasitarsus-tarsus with scattered long setae (somepilose) on mesal and ventral surfaces. Lateral anddorsal setation as in Fig. 100. Spur about 0.6, clawabout 1.33 times dorsal length of basitarsus-tarsus.Chelicerae: Serrula with eight rounded teeth; setae:1=3; 2=5; 3=16; 4=4; 5=0; 6=1. All withsmall barbs (6) or pilose (1-4).Legs: Leg I, including coxa, 16.98 mm long;basitarsal-tarsal proportions: 44:8: 11 :9: 10: 10:30.Femur IV about 8.25 times as long as deep.Female paratype (length from distal edge of propeltidiumto base of flagellum, 8.02 mm).
