Diagnosis. Adults: Colors in life ranging from light red to dark red. Anterior process of crista metopica not clearly terminated; posterior process rounded at termination. Two types of dorsal opisthosomal setae ( pDS); in the first type setae ( pDS I) widened towards the end, usually asymmetrical at termination, a few unclear tubercles at the top and with an air bubble in the distal part. The second type ( pDS II) widened distally, usually asymmetrical, with flattened and sometimes frayed top and with much more distinct tubercles at seta termination ( Mąkol, 2005) (Figure 1).
