- This New World Arboreal is from Brazil, and was recently described in 2012.
- Most commonly found on bromeliads, "bromelicola" meaning "of bromeliads". The habitat in Itabaiana consists of white sandy soils with scattered shrubs, cactus and bromeliads.
- The adult female is nearly completely black, apart from some brown setae on the abdomen. The adult male is also very black but the chelicerae, legs, and cephalothorax have whitish setae. Furthermore, the abdomen has long reddish setae, but shorter setae are black.
- The younger spiders of this genus are much brighter in abdominal coloration, with a central longitudinal stripe of black and several other stripes of black meeting with the central stripe. The carapace is brown-black.
- Care/behavior/habitat are all very similar to Pink Toes.
