Tr I–IV with 1-1-1-1 setae; Bf I–IV with 3-3-3-2 setae; Tf I–IV with 7-6-6-5 setae; Gn I–IV with 7-7-5-5 setae, 3-1-0-0 Bp setae; Tb I–IV with 11-10-8-7 setae, 6-3-2-2 Bp setae; Ta I–IV with 3-3-4-4 dorsal setae, 2-1-2-1 Bp setae. Lc I with unidentate accessory process. Idiosoma length 386 in female, 286–301 in DN. Idiosoma width 310 in female. Gnathosoma length 354 in female. Ratio of gnathosoma to idiosoma 0.90 in female.
