Type Material

            Holotype: “Male holotype from Pima Co., Tucson, Arizona, April 30, 1968, David E. Bixler, deposited in FSCA” (Muma & Brookhart, 1988, p. 21).

            Measurements: “Males (3) relatively uniform in size; CP varies from 9.1-10.6 (mean 10.1). Legs long; A/CP varies from 6.4-6.9 (mean 6.7). Fondal notches slightly longer than wide; length/width ratio was same for all 3 specimens, 1.3 (fig. 59). No ctenidia. Mesal tooth on movable cheliceral finger varies from small to large; mode small” (Muma & Brookhart, 1988, p. 21).

“Single female designated here too badly desiccated and fragmented to permit accurate description; opercula (fig. 60)” (Muma & Brookhart, 1988, p. 21).

            Chelicerae Description: “Males distinguished by tiny triangular dorso-ectal spur on fixed cheliceral finger; rounded, but apically notched process of movable cheliceral finger…Dorsal process of fixed cheliceral finger peaked over distal half of fondal notch” (Muma & Brookhart, 1988, p. 21).

Diagnosis: 

Other Information: “Paler coloration, pale, less distinct markings, and distinctly notched anterior process on movable cheliceral finger presently distinguish this species from ajoanus. Ventral notch of movable cheliceral finger completely obscured from a lateral view for this species, and may also prove diagnostic” (Muma & Brookhart, 1988, p. 22).
