Diagnosis
Male pedipalpal femur with a strong, long, peg-like thorn in the median prolateral position, and a projection on the subdistal prolateral surface; pedipalpal patella with a strong thorn prolaterally, and a small projection near the base of this thorn; pedipalpal chela hand concave on the ventral side of base, with 16 or 17 spinous apophyses on the medial-dorsal side; male fixed chelal finger curved upward at median to distal part, movable chelal finger enlarged at base. Apex of female pedipalpal coxa with 10 long setae; pedipalpal femur 4.64–4.88 times as long as broad; pedipalpal patella 3.53–3.62 times as long as broad; pedipalpal chela (with pedicel) 4.02–4.10 times as long as broad; the presence of 76–78 pointed teeth on pedipalpal fixed chelal finger.

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).
