==Description== These spiders have a low cephalothorax that is contracted in front and behind, and is widest near the dorsal eyes. The area near the head is slightly inclined, while the opposite end falls slightly, then all at once. The sides of the body are nearly vertical. Their eyes are four times as long as they are wide, and easily wider behind than in front.
