Original Description
Cephalis very small, subspherical, hyaline, without pores. Thorax flatly conical or hat-shaped, with concave lateral outlines, and a very delicate network of small square meshes (similar to Litharachnium araneosum, Pl. 55, fig 8). This is supported by thirty-two curved radial ribs, four of which are primary, four secondary, and the other twenty-four interpolated. Peristome horizontally expanded and little recurved, like the reflexed brim of a hat
Size: Cephalis 0.12 diameter; thorax 0.08 long, 0.24 broad.
