The cephalothorax is brown with a black eye field and a median band as well as wide, medially wavy bordered marginal bands. These three bands protrude sharply, are pale yellow, and are densely haired with white hair.[3]
The abdomen is dorsally black-brown, with the entire broad middle field white-yellow and sharply delimited at the sides. At the median in front, it shows a reddish-yellow, black narrowly marked lancet band followed by five to six black median markings. Ventrally, the epigaster is pale yellow, but behind this is a square median spot. The sternum and coxae are uniformly rusty yellow, as are other leg segments.[3]
Conservation
The species is known only from the type locality with a limited range. Additional sampling is needed to collect females and determine the full geographic range.[2]
