According to our current knowledge, the prothorax of male spiders belonging to the genus is covered with black hairs. However, during our collection activities in Morocco, we found male specimens showing habitus that can be clearly distinguished from the previously known species based on their pars cephalica of prosoma covered with distinct red hairs. Diagnostic drawings and digital photographs of male copulatory organs, alongside DNA and COI barcoding results, are also presented.
根据我们目前的认知,属于该属的雄性蜘蛛的前胸覆盖着黑色毛发。然而,在我们于摩洛哥的采集活动中,我们发现了一些雄性标本,其体型特征基于前体部头区覆盖着明显的红色毛发,可与先前已知的物种清晰区分开来。文中还展示了雄性交配器官的诊断图和数码照片,以及DNA和细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)条形码分析结果。
