The carapace is brown to black with a pale central longitudinal stripe on the thorax. The back of the abdomen is medium brown with indistinct speckling, the underside is black.[2]
One male was collected on a tree trunk, several juveniles were collected by beating moss-covered branches and tree trunks in the understorey of lowland rainforest.[2]
