The spider is generally black coloured. The abdomen of the female has a purple tinge, the abdomen of the male is blue. Like in other mygalomorph spiders the eight eyes are situated closely together in two groups close to the frontal edge of the carapace.[3]

Habitat

They construct webs on the middle part of a tree, that remind people of short vines.
