Remarks

The most obvious sexual dimorphism of this species is found on the carapace, pedipalp and leg I. For the carapace: the anterior half of the male carapace protrudes to the sides, the front half is significantly wider than the back half (carapace of female is nearly rectangular). For the pedipalp: the male femur has a large tubercle on the median and two subdistal projections on the prolateral surface; the chelal hand has 23 spinous apophyses on the dorsal side, while the pedipalp of the female is almost smooth. The male leg I is stronger than that of the female, and the femur of the male has an inward depression on the distal part (female is straight).
