Lateral sides of carapace with a row of twelve long black curved bristles below eyes (Fig. 2C). AME and ALE nearly contiguous (Fig. 2D). Chelicerae dorsolaterally flat and without much hair; promargin with 2 closely arranged teeth, retromargin with 1 tooth. Fovea short, longitudinal, straight, reddish-brown (Fig. 2A).

Unknown</p><p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 3).</p><p>Habitat. Chorao is an estuarine island nestled within the Mandovi River's backwaters. It marks the starting point of the Mandovi estuary's mangrove ecosystem, which stretches for 34 km upstream. Chorao Island hosts thriving mangrove swamps, creating a rich estuarine wetland environment. Among the various mangrove species found on Chorao, Avicennia officinalis L., A. alba Blume, Bruguiera cylindrica (L.), Kandelia candel (L.), Rhizophora mucronata, and R. apiculata Blume are the most common. A portion of the island, specifically 178 hectares, is situated within the boundaries of the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary (Figs 1, 3) and is protected.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587C75126B36E02338C7CFD3EF7BB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
