Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Description. Female. Total length 8.55. Carapace 3.83 long, 3.15 wide. Carapace brown without pattern (Fig. 1). Chelicerae light brown, anterior margin with 3 teeth, posterior margin with 5 teeth (Fig. 2). Sternum, maxillae and labium light brown (Fig. 2). Dorsum of abdomen yellowish, grayish laterally and ventrally (Fig. 1). All leg segments uniformly yellowish-brown. Spination: leg I: femur 2 d, 1 p; tibia 4 - 5 v, 2 a; metatarsus 2 - 2 v; leg II: femur 2 d; tibia 2 - 3 v, 2 a; metatarsus 2 - 2 v; leg III: femur 2 d, 2 p, 1 (2) r; tibia 2 p, 2 r, 2 - 2 v, 2 a; metatarsus 1 p, 1 r, 2 - 2 v, 2 a; leg IV: femur 3 d, 1 r; tibia 3 p, 2 r, 2 - 1 v, 2 a; metatarsus 1 p, 2 r, 2 - 2 v, 2 a. Spines shorter than the diameter of the leg joints (Fig. 1). Spinnerets (Fig. 3), colulus large. Epigyne (Figs 4 – 10); epigynal plate lies in two plains: with ventral part visible in intact specimen (Fig. 4) and posterior part inside epigastral fold visible on dissected epigyne (Figs 9 – 10). Epigynal plate with distinct anterior (Ap) and posterior (Pp) pockets; anterior pocket bell-shaped, deep, with copulatory openings inside, with a nearly straight margin. Central part of plate with a shallow cavity (Mc) below anterior pocket; cavity with transverse ridges. Lateral sides of epigynal plate with two shallow cavities (Lc). Posterior pocket located above notch (No) and between two lateral lobes (Ll); in ventral view, pocket is hidden by a plate and only visible as a translucent dark spot. Copulatory openings lead to a short part of the fertilization duct (Fd) that is sclerotized, followed by a short, weakly sclerotized part. Receptacles are complex, each with two chambers, both weakly sclerotized: anterior chamber is bean shaped (Re 1) and posterior chamber is round (Re 2). Anterior chamber is at the sides of the anterior pocket. Fertilization duct (Fd) originates from the posterior chamber. Leg joint measurements (femur + patella + tibia + metatarsus + tarsus): I 10.75 (3.0 + 1.5 + 2.8 + 2.45 + 1.0), II 9.7 (2.85 + 1.4 + 2.45 + 2.1 + 0.9), III 8.7 (2.45 + 1.1 + 2.05 + 2.25 + 0.85), IV 12.05 (3.25 + 1.45 + 3.0 + 3.35 + 1.0).
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.
