Key Identification Features
- Like many other species in the same genus, this spider is colourful and distinct in appearance.
- Its elongated opisthosoma is covered in large silvery scales, which form a distinctive brown net-like reticulated pattern.
- The male pedipalp has a distinct modified structure: it has a spoon-shaped, hollow, narrow secondary vessel that extends past the densely hairy, bulbous primary vessel, which has a pointed tip.
- The female epigyne features a scape, and male chelicerae have tubercles.
