Eye measurements: AME 0.11; ALE 0.21; PME 0.18; PLE 0.18; AME– AME 0.04; AME–ALE 0.03; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.10; PME–PLE 0.09. Clypeus height 0.13. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 14.50 (3.75, 4.75, 3.75, 2.25); II: 12.95 (3.45, 4.15, 3.35, 2.00); III: 11.70 (3.05, 3.50, 3.40, 1.75); IV: 15.40 (3.90, 4.75, 4.60, 2.15).
