Male: Carapace is dark brown to black, with a light band down the middle. Abdomen is dark and mottled. Legs are dark brown, but are paler towards the tips and have indistinct black rings (Lowrie & Dondale, 1981). Sternum is dark and chelicerae are light brown (Dondale & Redner, 1990). The palp is unique because of its tegulum, which can be seen from a side view to protrude greatly at the base (Lowrie & Dondale, 1981), and also because of its stout embolus, which has a helical tip, and its median apophysis with a short, slender, curved distal process (Dondale & Redner, 1990). Female: Colouration as in male. Epigynum is unique because of its lateral swellings that converge posteriorly, and because of its elongate, ovoid spermathecae, which are more than twice as long as they are wide (Dondale & Redner, 1990).
