Diagnosis "Carapace elongate-oblong in lateral outline;dorsal margin broadly and smoothly arched, with obscurely
indicated posterodorsal angle; greatest height located at
midlength; anterior margin narrowly and evenly rounded;
ventral indentation deep and somewhat angulate; pos
teroventral margin not upswung posteriorly; posterior
margin broadly and obliquely rounded, forming some
what truncate angle of about 72°; zone of concrescence
fairly wide; patch pattern consisting of three variable spots.
Male fifth limbs very asymmetrical, with tiny pegs and
long dorsal seta; distal hook robust and recurved at 66° in
right limb, reduced almost to nothing and curved at 151°
in left limb. Female fifth limb slender with fairly long
claws. Dorsodistal claw of sixth limb about two-thirds as
long as mediodistal claw. Recurved seta of seventh limb rather short, reaching only to middle of podomere II,
lined with very fine hairs decreasing in size distally. Furcae
rather short, straight, rapidly tapering, with small proxi
mal setae. Hemipenis oblong with rounded outlines, with
short lobate anterodorsal lamellar flap; copulatory rod
fairly short, irregularly bent. Zenker's organ with very
small terminal bulb; vas deferens arranged in three loose
loops, almost as long as Zenker's organ. (Maddocks, 1990: 112, 113)
