The species is remarkable by its male amputating one of its palps before maturation and entering his adult life with one palp only.

It adopts exceptional copulatory behaviour: when the male achieves genitalia coupling with his palp, the latter is torn off by the female.

The separated gonopod remains attached to the female's epigynum for approximately 4 hours and continues to function independently, serving as a mating plug.

Emasculation thus synchronizes sexual cannibalism and sperm transfer, lengthening the interval between copulations.

This mating behaviour might allow for the continuation of insemination by the dismembered palp.
