long; 1.93 mm wide opposite interval between first and second coxae 
where it is widest; about 1.14 mm tall opposite interval between 
second and third coxae where it is tallest; height gradually increased 
from AME to beginning of posterior declivity the first half of which 
is very abrupt; thoracic fovea a fairly conspicuous pit near bottom 
of steep descent; surface finely granular and finely rugulose; an- 
terior end bluntly rounded ; posterior border squarely truncate. Eyes : 
eight in two rows; posterior row slightly longer than anterior row; 
viewed from above, anterior row gently recurved, posterior row 
strongly procurved thus bringing lateral eyes very close together 
(Fig. 1). AME circular all others oval with irregularities in 
outlines. Ratio of eyes AME : ALE : PME : PLE = 14 : 13 : 
15:11 (long axes used for measurements of oval eyes). AME dark; 
all others light with PME bright silvery. AME separated from one 
another by about 4/7 of their diameter, from ALE by about 5/7 of 
their diameter; PME in contact at posterior ends and obliquely 
placed; PME separated from PLE 7/5 of their diameter. Lateral 
eyes separated by nearly one third of the long axis of PLE. Central 
ocular quadrangle wider in front than behind in ratio of about 7:6; 
longer than wide in front in ratio of about 8 : 7. Height of clypeus 
equal to nearly three times the diameter of AME; clypeus deeply 
grooved just above ventral margin. Chelicerae, maxillae and lip 
typical of females of the genus. Sternum : typical of the genus ; ex- 
tended between all coxae; most widely extended between first and 
second coxae; terminated opposite fourth coxae where there is a 
pair of short tubercles (Fig. 2) ; fourth coxae separated by about 
6/5 of their width; surface coarsely granulate. Legs: 4123 in order 
of length; tibial index of first leg 16, of fourth leg 11. First leg 
very robust with femur greatly elevated in proximal half; coxae 
1423 in order of length and robustness; first metatarsus very short 
(Fig. 3); first tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi with iridescent ventro- 
prolateral scopulae; all other metatarsi with distal, ventral scopulae; 
first patellae longest of the four; tarsal claws and claw tufts typical 
of the genus. Palp without a tarsal claw but with many tarsal 
bristles. Abdomen: typical of females of the genus; genital area
