The legs are stout and long, with scopulse on all the tarsi and metatarsi. The spines 

 are only moderately long and stout, two single ones above on each femur. They are 

 covered with fine smooth hair and long upstanding bristles. 



The femoral joint of the palpi is broadest anteriorly, curved inwards on the inner 

 side ; the patella is half as long as the tibial joint, and the distal joint is furnished with 

 a thick bushy scopnla. 



The abdomen is straight in front, rounded at the sides, broadest at two-thirds of the 

 length from the base and pointed obtusely at the reai-. The spinnerets are terminal ; the 

 inferior, conical and close together, have a short second joint. The superior are one-third 

 longer, flatter, and with a somewhat longer oval second joint. The epio-yne is nearly 

 circular, with the lower ends of the frame thickened out and meeting at the lower end.
