Diagnosis: |
This species is superficially like Nymphon maoriana Clark. It has shorter chelifores with smaller-sized teeth, an ocular tubercle taller than wide, legs with conspicuous sharp distal spines, and a tarsus only half as long as the short propodus. The similarities reside in the plain trunk, short neck, very short palp segments and short legs with long claws. |
