Morphological remarks. During the description of the neotype, Bustamante et al. (2015) interpreted the promarginal dentition of chelicera as three independent teeth. After a re-examination of the described specimen, we concluded that this species has actually a single promarginal tooth with three cusps. Also, the proximal pair of ventral spines on tibia I is asymmetrical.
