[1][2] It appears to be closely related to the genus Anicius from which it differs primarily in certain anatomical details.

In the species that have been observed, courtship begins with the male spreading his front legs and with the abdomen cocked to right or left and raised at an angle of about 30 degrees above the substrate.

Most males moved toward the female in a zigzag path (with a sideways motion as much as 1 cm), with pauses during which the abdomen was straightened and then re-twisted.

Male-male agonistic display initially began like courtship, but within seconds the males would unsheathe their fangs and move toward each other with abdomens cocked and front legs spread.

If the males were of similar size they would usually lock chelicerae and touch spread front legs, trying to bite.
