[2] The holotype was collected from leaf litter under Karaka and pukanui groves.

[4] Beier's original text (the type description) reads as follows: Uniformly reddish brown, meso- and metazona of carapace only a little paler.

Integument extraordinarily densely and finely granulate, grainlets of abdominal tergites somewhat transverse.

Carapace 1.2 times in the male, but only a little longer than broad posteriorly in the female, with two distinct but not very deep transverse furrows, the subbasal one twice as far from the anterior furrow as from the posterior margin.

Fingers as long as hand with pedicel ( ♂ ) or ( ♀ ) a little longer, each with about 60 teeth; fixed finger laterally with 8, medially with 3, movable one laterally with 9, medially with 2, accessory teeth.
