Description. Total length 1.27 mm. Carapace 0.54 mm long; 
0.41 mm wide opposite second coxae where it is widest; about 0.22 
mm tall ; nearly level along middorsal region to beginning of pos- 
terior declivity the first half of which is precipitous ; otherwise typical 
of males of the genus. Eyes: six as usual in two rows in a compact 
group; posterior row moderately procurved, seen from above. Ratio 
of eyes ALE : PME : PLE : 5.5 15:4. ALE circular, others oval. 
ALE barely separated from one another and contiguous to PLE ; 
separated from PME by about three-tenths of their diameter. PME 
contiguous to one another and to PLE. Clypeus quite porrect; 
height slightly greater than diameter of ALE. Chelicerae: essentially 
vertical ; concave medially in distal half so that the organs are greatly 
narrowed in that region; from near the beginning of the concavity
