Diagnosis
DIAGNOSIS — Characteristic for the new species is the typical prodorsal shield design (Fig. 7 D).
Description
FEMALE (n = 7) — Body spindleform, 146 (134–195), 78 (77–90) wide. Gnathosoma downcurved, (55); basal seta 5 (3–5); antapical seta not seen. Prodorsal shield30 (29–36), 62 (62–77) wide; median one third slightly elevated and forming a broad and short frontal lobe, 4 (3–4). Prodorsal shield tubercles 20 (19–22) apart; scapular seta (sc) missing. Shield design of faint median lines, aproximate on anterior two thirds and farther apart on posterior third; faint admedian and submedian lines on anterior two thirds; a few lines laterally. Legs missing tibial I, genual II and femoral I and II setae. Legs: leg I 38 (38–41); femur 16 (14–16), femoral seta (bv) missing; genu 4 (4–6), genual seta (l") 40 (38–41); tibia 4 (4–6), tibial seta (l') missing; tarsus 12 (12–13), dorsal seta (ft') 35 (31– 36), lateral seta (ft") 35 (35–38), unguinal seta (u') 5 (5–6), solenidion knobbed, 7 (7–9), empodium 9 (8–9), deeply divided, each branch 5 rayed.

Epigynum with many short basal dashes and 20 (20–28) longitudinal ribs. Opisthosoma with a narrow, short, anterior dorsomedian ridge, extending to approximately dorsal corresponding level of basis of opisthosomal ventral seta I (d).
