Female
The female has a large, robust cephalothorax that is somewhat plump in form, reminiscent of Amaurobius . The large, highly arched head region is sharply separated from the thoracic region. The anterior median eyes are protruding and somewhat larger than the posterior eyes, positioned twice as far from the lateral eyes as they are from each other. The posterior median eyes are separated by half their diameter, positioned at their full diameter from the anterior median eyes but at least five times their diameter from the lateral eyes. The lateral eyes touch each other, are equal in size, and are positioned on a small protruding tubercle. [3]
The coloration of the entire cephalothorax is dark brown, as is the shield-shaped sternum that extends somewhat below the lip region, along with the chelicerae, maxillae, and lip region. The latter two have broad, light brown margins. On the pedipalps, the first three segments are yellowish, while the last two are yellow-brown. [3]
The legs are not particularly long but fairly robust, with a light brown base color. Legs I and II have dark brown rings at the ends of the femora and tibiae, while on legs III the patellae and tibiae are narrowly dark at the ends, with broad end tarsi. Leg IV has dark brown rings on the femora, patellae, tibiae, and tarsi. [3]
The opisthosoma is elongated and oval, nearly as broad as long in egg-bearing females. The dorsal surface has a whitish-yellow base color with an attractive dark brown median marking and border. The sides of the abdomen are light brown, with a dark velvety brown center and bright whitish-yellow hooks on each side. Several broader and narrower wedge-shaped stripes extend from the abdomen into the light brown sides. The area around the spinnerets is also dark velvety brown and surrounds the dark brown, yellow-bordered spinnerets. [3]
Male
The male cephalothorax has the same form and coloration as the female, but the thoracic groove is more pronounced while being very weak in the female. The pedipalps are light brown to dark brown on the tarsal segment. The tibial segment has a characteristic forward-directed spine process and the copulatory organs have a broad, far-extending, hollow, sharp-ending hook portion. [3]
The legs are colored the same as in females, with spines on the first two pairs being somewhat longer and stronger, particularly under the tibiae II. The opisthosoma is long and oval, with a white base color and dark brown margins and similar markings that fade into a brown-gray coloration at the end. [3]
