Remarks

The most obvious sexual dimorphism of this species is found on the pedipalp. The male pedipalpal femur has a strong and peg-like thorn in the median prolateral position, and a projection on the subdistal prolateral surface (female only has many big tubercles mainly surrounding the basal to median area); the male pedipalpal patella has a strong thorn and a small projection (female is smooth); the male pedipalpal chela hand is concave on the ventral side of the base, and with 16 or 17 spinous apophyses on the medial-dorsal side (female is smooth); the male fixed chelal finger is curved upward in the median to distal part, the movable chelal finger is enlarged at the base (female is straight).
