Total length 6.47; carapace 2.59 long, 1.77 wide; abdomen 3.88 long, 2.04 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.13, ALE 0.16, PME 0.12, PLE 0.13, AME – AME 0.08, AME – ALE 0.07, PME – PME 0.29, PME – PLE 0.17, MOQL 0.35, MOQA 0.33, MOQP 0.55. Sternum 1.33 long, 0.84 wide. Leg measurements: I 5.63 (1.54, 2.39, 1.14, 0.56), II 5.93 (1.71, 2.47, 1.15, 0.60), III 4.98 (1.47, 1.73, 1.30, 0.48), IV 7.60 (2.15, 2.66, 2.19, 0.60). Leg formula: IV-II-I-III. Cheliceral furrow with six promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. Colouration in ethanol (Fig. 2 A and B). Carapace light brown, without distinct pattern, fovea reddish; cephalic region slightly narrowed and slightly darker, cervical groove and radial grooves indistinct; tegument smooth, marginally clothed with short, fine hairs. Eyes: in dorsal view, AER slightly recurved, PER almost straight, the latter wider than the former. Chelicerae robust and light reddish-brown. Sternum yellowish-white. Labium and endites light orange. Legs coloured as sternum, without distinct markings. Abdomen elongate, oval, with a thick tuft of setae anteriorly; dorsally with a lengthwise pink heart mark which is shaped like double-edged spear, reaching posterior half. Venter uniformly creamy white, without markings. Epigyne (Fig. 2 E – H). Epigynal plate ca. 1.3 × wider than long, anterior and lateral margin not rebordered; posterior margin heavily sclerotised and convex medially, with a downward-protruding edge, forming an inverted trapezoidal outline; spermathecae and copulatory ducts are prominently through epigynal plate in ventral view. Copulatory openings (CO) close together, apple-shaped, moderately large, ca. 1 / 6 of epigyne length and 1 / 9 of epigyne width. Copulatory ducts (CD) long and slender, almost parallel and ascending dorsally, extending above anterior surface of spermathecae, then retracing ventrally, curving along inter-posterior surface of spermathecae, finally entering the connecting piece between the spermathecae and bursae. Both primary spermathecae (Sp 1) and secondary spermathecae (Sp 2) hyaline, surface smooth, with the former located anteromedially to latter. Primary spermathecae globular, moderately large, diameter ca. 1 / 5–1 / 4 the width of epigyne; two primary spermathecae close together; spermathecal gland (SG) distinctly small, papilliform, located at the anterolateral surfaces of primary spermathecae. Secondary spermathecae kidney-shaped, anteriorly close together, posteriorly slightly curved and widely separated by ca. 1.6 widths. Fertilisation ducts (FD) membranous, acicular, ca. half primary spermathecae diameter, on their anterior surfaces. Male (Fig. 2 C and D). Total length 4.43; carapace 1.97 long, 1.48 wide; abdomen 2.46 long, 1.34 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.11, ALE 0.11, PME 0.10, PLE 0.12, AME – AME 0.06, AME – ALE 0.03, PME – PME 0.22, PME – PLE 0.11, MOQL 0.30, MOQA 0.26, MOQP 0.42. Sternum 1.04 long, 0.74 wide. Leg measurements: I 5.81 (1.61, 2.38, 1.23, 0.59), II 6.01 (1.65, 2.47, 1.24, 0.65), III 4.82 (1.36, 1.73, 1.26, 0.47), IV 6.97 (1.97, 2.30, 2.13, 0.57). Leg formula: IV-II-I-III. Cheliceral furrow with six anterior and without posterior teeth. Pattern and colouration (Fig. 2 C and D). As in females, but body slightly lighter and smaller (see Xin et al. (2020) for others described). Palp (Fig. 3 A – D). Femur unmodified. Patella with a distinct, thumb-like, small ventral apophysis (PA) originating distally, ca. 1 / 3 of patella length. Tibia short, ca. 1 / 3 of cymbium (Cy) length; retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) ca. 1.3–1.4 × the tibia length, base broad, tip pointed, petal-shaped in retrolateral view. Tegulum (Te) elongated-oval, ca. 2.1 × longer than wide, apically with a distinctly, semicircular hump (TH); sperm duct long and meandering; subtegulum (ST) large, nearly as long as tegulum, prolateral surface partly membranous, wrinkled and ribbed, with numerous diagonal ridges. Embolar base (EB) represented by a long and flat sclerite, inserted at approximately the 8–11 o’clock position of the tegulum, apical margin serrated, medially bearing one subtriangular process (EBP), proximal margin smooth curved; EBP small, its length ca. 1 / 5 width of embolar base, apex pointing retrolaterally; free part of embolus (Em) slender and flagelliform, bent 90 degrees ventrally and angled across tegular hump, stretched proximally on groove-like conductor, tip (ET) extending basad more than 3 / 4 length of tegulum, terminating at approximately 4 or 5 o’clock position. Conductor (C) area relatively large, approximately 2 / 5 tegulum width and 4 / 5 tegulum length.
