Six eyes in three doublets (Fig. 69B). Sternum dark brown. Chelicerae fused near the base, with single prolateral tooth, fang furrow absent (Fig. 69 E-F). Labrum not swollen, bearing single plumose seta, with ventrally rounded labral tongue (Fig. 70 E-F). Female palp absent. Legs brown. Abdomen brown (Fig. 65 A-D). Male palp: Cymbium covers proximodorsal part of bulb (Fig. 66). Tegular region divided into numerous lobes (Fig. 68B). Embolus long, free, follows complex path (Fig. 66). Vulva: Epigynum a lightly sclerotized scape (Fig. 67 A-B) with a socket near the tip (Fig. 67C). Ducts make many turns around spermathecae (Fig. 67C). Male (CASENT 9022356): Total length 0.69, carapace 0.29 long, 0.30 wide, clypeus 0.12, sternum 0.20 long, 0.20 wide, coxa IV separated by 2.10 times their width. Leg I: patella d1, tibia d2; Leg II: patella d1, tibia d2, v2 on tubercle, metatarsus with ventral tubercle near center; Leg III: patella d1, tibia d1; Leg IV: patella d1, tibia d1. Metatarsal trichobothria: TmI: 0.43; TmII: 0.42; TmIII: 0.50. Leg measurements: see Appendix A. Epiandrous gland spigots absent (Fig. 68F). Posterior lateral spinnerets with sticky silk triplet, aggregate gland spigots on common base (Fig. 71F). Female (CASENT 9022356): Total length 0.88, carapace 0.34 long, 0.31 wide, clypeus 0.05, sternum 0.22 long, 0.21 wide, coxa IV separated by 1.83 times their width. Leg I: patella d1, tibia d2; Leg II: patella d1, tibia d2; Leg III: patella d1, tibia d1; Leg IV: patella d1, tibia d1. Metatarsal trichobothria: TmI: 0.43; TmII: 0.44; TmI- II: 0.48. Leg measurements: see Appendix A. Spinnerets (Fig. 71A-D), posterior lateral spinnerets with aggregate gland spigots on common base (Fig. 71D). <b>Natural History.</b> This species builds a horizontal orb web (Fig. 72 A-B; see also page 12). Eggs (Fig. 67D) are placed on the periphery of the web, each individually wrapped (see Griswold and Yan 2003).
