The cephalothorax is orange-yellow with pale yellowish-grey hair, thickest round 

 the side margin and rear slope, and two longitudinal darker lines on each side 

 of the median line. The mandibles are similarly coloured, but the hair and bristles 

 are yellovyer, not quite so dark as the surface. The fangs yellow-brown. The lip and 

 maxillse are dingy yellow-grey with similarly coloured bristles and bright golden 

 fringes. The sternum dark grey with yellowish-grey hair. The coxee are more grey

than yellow, but the legs get brighter yellow from thence to the anterior end, with 

 light yellow hair and brown spines. The abdomen above is dark grey with light grey 

 hair ; there is a longitudinal pale streak bounded by two darker lines reaching from 

 the base to two-thirds of its length, where the latter join. At the sides are about five 

 faint transverse streaks — on the underside dark grey with a transverse light streak 

 across it about the middle. Spinnerets and epigyne yellow. 



The cephalothorax is slightly longer than broad, truncate in front and at the rear 

 end, rounded at the sides. The cephalic part is convex and separated by well-marked 

 depressions from the thoracic. These reach to a nearly circular fovea two-thirds of 

 the length of the cephalothorax from the front. It is thickly covered with recumbent 

 but rather coarse hair mingled with short upstanding bristles, those on the clypeus 

 much longer.
