DIAGNOSIS. Total length 60–80 mm. For habitus see Figs. 107–110 View Figure 107 View Figure 108 View Figure 109 View Figure 110 . Trichobothrium db on the fixed finger of pedipalp located between trichobothria et and dt or on level with trichobothrium et ( Fig. 4 View Figures 1–4 ). Male metasomal and pedipalp segments longer and narrower, fingers of pedipalps slightly twisted, vesicle narrower (female vesicle markedly inflated). Pectinal teeth number 27–32 in males, 22–26 in females. Entire body only sparsely hirsute, especially metasomal segments. Color yellow to yellowish brown, only front parts of carapace, fingers and chelicerae black. Chelicerae reticulate. Femur of pedipalps with five carinae, patella with eight carinae. Most carinae smooth, often indistinct, with only a few granules. Chela lacks carinae. Movable fingers of pedipalps with 14 or rarely 15 rows of granules and 5 or 6 terminal granules. Seventh metasomal segment with four well defined ventral carinae. First to fourth metasomal segments with 10 carinae. Fifth metasomal segment with 7 carinae, 5 ventral (3 median, 2 lateral) and 2 dorsal, any of which may be indistinct. First metasomal segment of female may be wider than long, in male is always longer than wide. Second metasomal segment always longer than wide. Second to fourth metasomal segment width ratio less than 1.2.
DISTRIBUTION: Yemen: Socotra Islands ( Pocock, 1889: 337). Record for Aden (Borelli, 1915: 460) must be considered dubious.
