Measurements: “Male holotype: total length 14, cheliceral length 3.3, cheliceral width 1.3, propeltidium length 1.5, propeltidium width 2.3, palpus length 13.5, first leg length 10.0, fourth leg length 14.0. Ratios: A/CP 7.8, CL/CW 2.5, PL/PW 0.43, no fond, CW/FFW 2.6. Metatarsus/tarsus ratio 4.2. Male paratypes (2): total length 13-15, cheliceral length 3.4-3.6, cheliceral width 1.3-1.6, propeltidium length 1.9-2.0, propeltidium width 2.3-2.7, palpus length 13.0-16.0, first leg length 10.0-11.0, fourth leg length 14.0-17.0. Ratios: A/CP 6.2-7.0, CL/CW 2.25-2.40, PL/PW 0.75-0.80, no fond, CW/FFW 2.6-3.2. Metatarsus/tarsus ratio 4.25-4.50” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2005, p. 722-723).
Chelicerae Description: “Cheliceral FF with no teeth or denticles, blade shaped with a circular region where you would normally find the fondal notch. Small ventral cup anteriorly extending to a broad, shallow mesoventral groove. MF with large PT and a cusp-like structure for an AT; small IT on the PT; no MST (Figs. 10 & 11)” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2005, p. 724).
Chelicerae Setae Description: “Flagella complex of tubular to slightly striate bristles” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2005, p. 724).
Palpal Description: “Coloration in alcohol a blotchy, vibrant violet brown on the dorsal aspect of most of palpus (Fig. 13) . . . . No scopula . . . The everted palpal suctorial organ is shown in Fig. 15” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2005, p. 723-724).
Ctenidia Description: “seven short, needle-like ctenidia (Fig. 17)” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2005, p. 724).
Diagnosis: “This species is distinguished from Eremochelis rossi Muma 1987 on the basis of coloration, shape of fixed finger, and ctenidial number and shape” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2005, p. 722).
