Description
Male. No photo exists of a live specimen. The ornamentation of the abdomen with bands and stripes of coloured scales in alcohol is basically similar as in the other Chrysilla. The species can be diagnosed by the long thin abdomen with dark dorsum with thin pale undulating strip in the middle, somewhat similar as in lauta and also present in females (Fig. 8 d; Prószyński and Deeleman-Reinhold 2010: fig. 31), and the broad distally rounded tegulum. Carapace all brown, whole ocular area and rear part of thorax with small round bluish iridescent scales in both male and females, across anterior eye row and around AME a transverse band of white flattened setae and a patch of similar setae behind AME; white moustache below the AME lacking in both male and female, marginal strip on thorax thin, marked with iridescent scales. Chelicerae in male slightly diverging distally. Leg I dark, leg II – III pale, leg IV pale with dark metatarsus. Abdomen thin and elongate, shiny and dark with a brown area on sort of dorsal scutum; central dorsal band and a pair of narrow lateral strips covered with green-violet iridescent scales, as in Chrysilla lauta. Venter covered all over with greenish scales. Palp white except dark base of femur, origin of ep from etb obliquely prolateral (Fig. 9 a).
Female. Total lengths 3.20 - 3.40 mm. Dorsal pattern on carapace (Fig. 8 d) with white flattened setae and tiny round green iridescent dots, predominantly on rear slope of thorax. Legs I-IV uniform pale. Abdomen brown with interrupted pale central band and a pair of parallel lateral strips (Fig. 8 d) covered with elongate golden iridescent setae, rest of dorsum with dispersed white flattened setae; venter with short white hair. Epigyne (Fig. 9 d) with slender copulatory ducts distally curved ventralwards showing copulatory openings; atrium short and wide, crescent-shaped, parallel to the anterior epigyneal margin.
Measurements. Male carapace 1.80 long, 1. 20 wide, abdomen 2.7 long, 0.95 wide. Legs lost. Palp femur 0.85, patella 0.24, tibia 0.26, cymbium 0.70, width cymbium. 0.20. Female, total body length 3.20, carapace 1.30 long, 1.0 wide, 0.6 high. Abdomen 1.5 long, 1.0 wide, epigyne 0.25 wide 0.25 high. Legs: femur I 0.8, femur II 0.7, femur III, 0.7 femur IV 0.9.
