The cephalothorax is high ; the thoracic part is longer and wider 
than the cephalic. The eye region is covered with short, bright red 
hairs, intermixed with long black hairs, the latter forming small tufts 
between the small median and dorsal eyes. The thoracic part and 
sides are covered with Coarse yellowish white hairs. The lower nar- 
row margin is black. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is wider than long, and wider behind. 
The dorsal eye is as large as the lateral, and on a line with it; the 
small median eye is on a line with their upper borders, and nearer the 
lateral than the dorsal eye. The anterior row of eyes is slightly 
curved, a line from the summit of the middle eyes cutting the lateral 
eyes above the centre. The middle eyes are twice as large as the 
lateral. All the anterior eyes are separated, the lateral more widely 
than the middle eyes. The clypeus is two-thirds as wide as the middle 
eyes, and is covered with dense whitish hair. 
The palpus is pale, tipped with black, and is covered with long 
white hairs. 
The falces are short, stout and vertical; they are dark colored, but 
highly irridescent, with red, purple, yellow and green reflections. The 
fang is long. 
The maxilhe are rounded, brown, with the inner edge, which slopes 
to the lip, pale. 
The sternum is dark brown; pointed in front, rounded behind. 
The relative length of the legs is 4, 1,3,3. The first pair is the 
stoutest, the second next. They are black, excepting the metatarsi, 
which are pale, and are entirely covered with long whitish hair.
