Palp (Figs 4 G – I, 5 D – E). Femur swollen on the ventral side and with distal concavity on the retrolateral side. RTA thick basally, narrow gradually, with beaked tip; in the ventral view, the RTA has one long, slender, sickleshaped branch, bent in the prolateral direction, one small, sharp apophysis basally and one triangular apophysis apically on the inner side. VTH inconspicuous. DTA lamellar, with thick base and hooked tip. Cymbium with an RBC that is visible from the retrolateral and the dorsal views. Tegular apophysis short, canine-shaped, bent slightly in the prolateral direction. Embolus sword-shaped, with sharp tip, pointed towards 11 o’clock position. Female.

With pair of shallow concavities that conceal trumpet-shaped copulatory openings, with conspicuously sclerotized anterior margins, lacking conspicuous posterior margins; copulatory ducts connected to two kidney-shaped transparent bursae, bursae with oval, sclerotized bases; spermathecae small and spherical, close together, longitudinal distance between copulatory openings and spermathecae is approximately one spermatheca diameter; bursae and spermathecae connected by slender tube.
