Black Venter Comb-footed Spider
The species is easily recognised by a mosaic of white, yellow and orange on the dorsum, and blackish brown on the venter and near the anterior and posterior edges of the dorsum. It superficially resembles Platnickina but does not have male palps similar to those of Platnickina. Also, its legs IV are longer than legs II (vis-à-vis Platnickina).
