Ventral setae smooth. Two pairs of metapodal plates.
Spermatheca. Calyx of spermatheca cup-shaped, 18 long; atrium distinct.
Gnathosoma. Corniculi parallel to each other; basal width of corniculus 3, distance between bases of corniculi 8. Movable cheliceral digit 30, 29 long, with two teeth; fixed digit 30 long, with three teeth.
Legs. Macroseta blunt: Sge IV 31, 29; Sti IV 34, 29; St IV 56, 49; chaetotaxy of genu II 2, 2/1, 2/0, 1; genu III 1, 2/1, 2/0, 1.
Specimens examined. One female from mango leaves, at the Faculty of Agriculture Farm, Cairo University, Giza governorate, September 1977 (coll. M.A. Zaher); one female from castor bean leaves, at same locality, Decemmber 1977 (coll. M.A. Zaher).
Previous records from Egypt. Fayoum governorate (Romeih et al., 2010b); Giza governorate (El-Badry, 1967a, 1970; Zaher et al., 1973; Zaher, 1986; Romeih et al., 2010b); Ismailia governorate (Zaher, 1986); unspecified governorate (Zaher & Shehata, 1969; Zaher et al., 1970).
Remarks. This species was originally described from Germany. The original description was very brief, without illustrations or measurements; complementary descriptions were listed by Demite et al. (2014), including redescriptions based on specimens collected in Egypt (Zaher & Shehata, 1969; El-Badry, 1970; Zaher, 1986). Measurements of the females examined are close to those reported by Chant & Yoshida-Shaul (1987) for the neotype specimen (except S2, 40 according to the authors); measurements of specimens examined also fit the corresponding ranges given by Ferragut et al. (2010) (except S2, 35–44 according to that authors).
