 grayish specks; with very minute tubercles, giving rather a velvety 

 than rough appearance to the unaided eye. Segmentation of the 

 abdominal scutum not marked. Eye eminence prominent, black, with 

 a double row of rather small and distant spinous tubercles. Palpi

 prolonged ; in the female brown, without the row of spinous tubercles 

 on the distal article, but with the others perhaps more pronounced
