Male unknown.



Body length male


Description female German

When alive this is a bright reddish-orange species with distinct abdominal chevrons and with indistinct leg annulations. Colours of prosoma and legs fade to yellow-brown in alcohol except for the dark-brown fovea, the very faint brown reticulations and the annulations of the legs becoming indiscernible.

Prosoma smooth with a narrow, protruding head. Eyes in a compact group and of normal size. PME separatedby a little more than half a diameter, the sockets of the remainingeyes touching. Eyes of PER equal in size, larger than theAME but smaller than ALE. Labium shaped like a triangle with rounded corners, more than 1.5 times wider than long, slightly less than half the length of the endites. Cheliceral romargin with three minute, discrete teeth, retromargin with two small discrete teeth. Sternum scutiform, projecting between coxae IV. Opisthosoma. Elongate oval, with four chevrons, densely covered with hairs which seem to fall off in alcohol. Femur I-II with two macrosetae in dorsal midline, III-IV with three. Femur I with additional strong prolateral macrosetae and two ventral macrosetae one of which is strong and light brown, second is thinner and black. Femur III and IV also with an additional prolateral macroseta in distal position and two ventral-prolateral macrosetae, also in distal positions. Patella I and II without macrosetae, III and IV each with a dorsal macroseta in distal position. Tibia I and II with five pairs of ventral macrosetae, Mt I and II with three pairs. Epigyne without a septum or median plate. The only external sclerotizations are the rather weakly sclerotized linings of the small copulatory openings which are circular-semicircular, and set apart anteriorly. The two halves of the vulva form a ‘V’ and are only bridged posteriorly by a thin bar.

Under stones on limestone grassland with bush encroachment.

The new species most closely resembles Apostenus humilis Simon 1932 and A. maroccanus Bosmans, 1999 based on build of the epigyne/vulva.
