Externally the male examined specimens differs from the holotype illustration present in Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2024, fig. 3) by presenting darker colors and much longer setae mainly in thorax and abdomen, however the genital structures are exactly identical; for the case of the females analyzed, both the external characters and the genitalia are exactly identical to those illustrated in Ramos-Pastrana et al. (2024, figs 15–20).
