based on the male holotype and paratypes (measurements given in mm after the description).  Colour. General coloration yellowish to pale yellow; cheliceral teeth, telson tip and rows of granules on pedipalp fingers reddish-yellow to dark reddish.  Morphology. Chelicerae: dorsal edge of fixed finger, with four denticles (basal, medial, subdistal, distal); ventral edge with 4–5 very reduced denticles; movable finger with three denticles (medial, subdistal, external distal) on dorsal edge, without basal denticles; ventral edge with 4–5 reduced denticles; external distal denticle smaller than internal distal denticle; ventral aspect offingers and manus with numerous macrosetae. Carapace. Anterior margin depressed with a moderately marked concavity. Lateral ocelli absent. Median ocular tubercle represented by a smooth depressed zone; median ocelli absent; interocular furrow obsolete. One pair of vestigial circumocular sutures with a broad U-shaped configuration, incomplete behind median ocular tubercle. Anteromedian and posteromedian furrows shallow; posterolateral furrow shallow, weakly curved; posteromarginal furrow narrow, very shallow. Carapace almost totally smooth, except for some isolated granules anteriorly; acarinate; anterosubmedial carinae absentfrom the zone internal to circumocular sutures. Pedipalp segments apilose. Femur with five discernible carinae, all weak to vestigial; intercarinal surfaces smooth. Patella with 5–6 discernible carinae; ventrointernal carinae with some spinoid granules; intercarinal surfaces smooth. Chela with only vestigial carinae, rounded and smooth. Fixed and movable fingers strongly curved; dentate margins each with median denticle row comprising eight oblique granular sub-rows; each sub-row comprising several small granules and internal and external accessory granules. Trichobothria:Orthobothriotaxic, Type D (Soleglad and Fet 2001, 2003a), ‘beta-like’configuration, d2situated on dorsal surface, d3andd4in same axis of the femur, parallel and closer to dorsoexternalcarina than isd1, angle formed byd1, d3andd4opening toward internal surface; totals: femur, 12 (five dorsal, four internal, three external); patella, 10 (three dorsal, one internal, six external); chela, 13 (five manus, eight fixed finger). Legs I to IV: tibiae, without spurs; basitarsi each with a pair of pro- and retrolateral spurs; telotarsi each with several spinular setae, not well arranged in rows. Sternum pentagonal, type 1 (Soleglad and Fet 2003b), moderately compressed horizontally, markedly longer than wide, external aspect not flat, with a concave region, posteromedian depression round. Pectines each with 3–4 distinct marginal lamellae in male and female, 8–9 well-delineated median lamellae present in male (7 in female). Fulcra absent or vestigial. Pectinal tooth count: 9–9 in males and 7–7 in female. Genital operculum completely divided longitudinally; genital plugs observed in male. Mesosoma:pre-tergites smooth and shiny; post-tergitesII-VI smooth, apart from some minute granules; VII with a few granules and a pair of dorsosubmedian and dorsolateral carinae, reaching posterior edge of segment. Sternites almost entirely smooth, acarinate; surfaces with scattered macrosetae; distal margins with sparse row of macrosetae; respiratory spiracles small, semi-oval in shape. Metasoma covered in short macrosetae. Ten carinae on segments I to III; eight carinae on segment IV; four on segment V. Dorsosubmedian carinae moderately developed on segments I-IV, absent on segment V; spinoid granules absent. Other carinae moderately to weakly developed on segments I-V. Telson long and slender; vesicle smooth on all faces; aculeus shorter than vesicle and weakly curved, without a subaculear tubercle ventrally. Form of venom glands unknown.
