May 2015, 25 May 2015, lgt. P.J., number of copulations = 3
Males began courting after a long period (0.91, 5.03 and 3.20 min), through P_CI. Jerky steps and pedal movements of the males were subtle and inconspicuous and were followed by L_P and by dragging their opisthosomata on the surface, which produced an audible noise. When close to females, males made sideways steps (B_SW) and bent their front legs (L_A). After 7.56, 5.88 and 6.60 min, respectively, females fell into catalepsy (C_H) and the mating began. Copulations were very short (0.01, 0.26 and 0.16 min), with two or three palpal insertions, each with one to eight rapid haematodochal expansions. The sum of all haematodochal expansions in one mating was three, 14 and 14. The opisthosomal movements (O_Q) of the males during copulation were inconspicuous.
