Internal genitalia with the anterior margin of plate dorsally curved only on the medial region (Figs. 30, 35), posterior median invagination shallow (Fig. 30); membranous anteromedian receptaculum formed by a long, thin T-shaped sclerotized bifid duct that protrudes from the posterior surface of plate leading to a large, oval sac (Figs. 29, 35).

All specimens were caught in Quercus and wet forests fragments in leaf litter with pitfall traps (six individuals) and Berlese funnels (two individuals).
Biology & Conservation

Scientific field studies are ongoing to establish comprehensive biological records for this species, including precise wild population estimates, dietary distributions, typical lifespans, and specific daily activity patterns. Taxonomic details have been successfully categorized under the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) backbone index, and deeper environmental analysis is active to catalog its behavior and conservation profile within its native biomes.
