- This Old World Burrower is from the RSA (Republic of South Africa). The available distribution data suggest this species is limited to the Waterberg mountains of Limpopo Province and appears to demonstrate some degree of habitat specialization.
- Specimens were collected from under loose rocks where they had constructed messy sheet webs filling the cavity under the rock. They live in this sheet web, and dash around rapidly when the rock is turned, retreating into cavities in the ground if these are available.
- The adult size is right around 5".
- They are reclusive and very fast!
- Uniformly greyish beige, with more golden coloration on dorsal surfaces of limbs and chelicerae. Carapace with weakly defined paler radial striae. Dorsum of abdomen with ill-defined dark markings of bars, spots and reticulations; ventral surface predominantly yellow-brown, with few isolated dark speckles.
