Male palp as in Oonops pulcher, but tarsus narrow and cylindrical, longer than patella and tibia together, bulb very large, pear-shaped, embolus thin, cylindrical, bearing a black style. Prosoma light reddish-brown, oblong oval, scattered with hairs quite short and strong. Ocular area almost as wide as the front of Prosoma. Sternum and labium scattered with obtuse hairs. Eyes large and subequal, ringed with black, medians sub-contiguous, oblong, laterals sub-contiguous, oval, ALE a little larger than posteriors, nearly contiguous to the medians, PLE markedly distant from the medians. Clypeus more narrow than the diameter of anterior eyes. Legs not long, light brownish, femur distinctly tinted in red, femur strong and flat, legs without spines but with dense strong obtuse hairs, particularly on anterior tibia and metatarsus. Opisthosoma oblong oval, mat white, scattered with strong hairs.
