Description

The species was the first to be described in the genus in around thirty years and was also the first described from Brazil. [1] [2] It was described based on two specimens, a male and a female. The female is the holotype. The female measured 1.6 mm (in) and the male measured 1.7 mm, which is about 1/16”. Overall, they are dark brown in coloration. The male is slightly darker than the female. It is morphologically similar to J. nigriceps. [1]

Etymology

The specific epithet "pasargadae" is derived from the type locality, Aprisco Pasárgada. [1]
