to posterior row of eyes; front nearly vertical; setae short, dark, 
suberect, rather sparse. Anterior row of eyes shorter than middle row, 
somewhat procurved, approximately uniform in spacing, with 
anterior median eyes somewhat larger than anterior laterals. Ster¬ 
num brown yellow, sometimes suffused with black or with indistinct 
pale median band and pale submarginal spots. Chelicerae brown 
yellow; promargin of fang furrow with 2 or 3 teeth and retromargin 
with 3 teeth. Legs pale brown yellow, with patella and tibia I 
somewhat darker, not annulated, somewhat irridescent; scopula 
sparse; femur I with 3 dorsal macrosetae, 1 prolateral, 0 retrolaterals; 
tibia I with 0 dorsal macrosetae (though 2 bristles present), 1 or 2 
prolaterals, 0 retrolaterals, 3 pairs of ventrals; basitarsus I with 0 
dorsal macrosetae, 1 to 3 prolaterals, 1 retrolateral, 2 pairs of ventrals 
plus 1 unpaired at tip; distitarsus I with slight curvature; trochanter 
with deep ventral notch at tip. Abdomen ovoid, brown yellow, with 
indistinct heart mark and dark reticulated pattern, occasionally 
lacking pattern, with cluster of erect curved setae at anterior end; 
venter pale brown yellow, often with a median and 2 lateral dark 
longitudinal bands coalescing or forming a median patch. Tibia of 
palpus nearly twice as long as wide. Subtegulum (steg) large, 
prominent, occupying approximately one-third length of genital bulb 
(Fig. 3); seminal duct sinuous, nearly transverse; median apophysis 
(ma) angular at base, long and curved at tip, with slender dorsal tooth 
(Figs. 3, 7, 8); embolus (e) short, slender, arising close to terminal 
apophysis on prolateral margin of genital bulb, held in groove 
formed by folded margin of terminal apophysis (Fig. 2); terminal 
apophysis with two minute processes (Figs. 1, 2). 
Female: Total length approximately 3.75 mm. Carapace 1.78+ 
0.09 mm long, 1.19+ 0.06 mm wide (17 specimens measured). 
General structure and color (Fig. 4) essentially as in male but body 
sometimes lacking pattern; anterior median eyes sometimes equal to 
anterior laterals in size; patella and tibia I not darker than other 
segments; tibia I with distal pair of ventral macrosetae often missing; 
basitarsus I lacking ventral unpaired macroseta tip, and distitarsus 
I not curved. Epigynum with plate somewhat longer than broad, 
rather convex, setaceous, lacking processes at posterior margin (Fig. 
5). Copulatory tubes broad, each with rounded prominence postero- 
laterally; spermathecae (spt) longer than broad, extending antero- 
laterad, with minute nodules at tip (Fig. 6). 
Material Examined: Only the type-series was examined.
