Description: Female (holotype). Large sized Coelotinae, total length 11.8 (Fig. 193). Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.75 long, 3.80 wide; opisthosoma 6.00 long, 4.18 wide. AME smallest, approximately 3/4 the size of ALE; ALE largest; posterior eyes subequal in size, slightly smaller than ALE (AME 0.15, ALE 0.21, PME 0.18, PLE 0.18); anterior eyes equally separated from each other by 2 /3 of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by 2 /3 their diameter, widely separated from PLE by more than their diameter (AME-AME 0.11, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.12, PME-PLE 0.22, AME-PME 0.15) (Fig. 194). Chelicera with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Labium longer than wide (L / W =1.14) (Fig. 195). Epigynum without epigynal teeth; atrium large, situated anteriorly, with anterior margin protruding anteriorly to an anteriorly narrow and posteriorly wide atrium; copulatory ducts small, originated anteriorly; spermathecal heads distinct, arising anteriorly, extending laterally; spermathecae large, round, widely separated by slightly less than their width, stalks slightly extending distally (Figs 189-192).
