AME smallest, 2 /3 size of other eyes, which are subequal (AME 0.08, ALE 0.13, PME 0.14, PLE 0.13); anterior eyes equally separated by half of AME diameter; PME close together, separated from each other by of their diameter, from PLE by of PME diameter; PME separated from each other by of their diameter, from PLE by about of PME diameter (AME-AME 0.04, AME-ALE 0.04, PME-PME 0.04, PME-PLE 0.09, AME-PME 0.08) (Fig. 312). Labium length and width subequal (Fig. 313). Cheliceral pro- and retromargins with 2 teeth.
