(after Richardson & Żabka 2007): Unidentate spiders with the left embolus curved anticlockwise through 270° and combined with the conductor, leg 4 longer than leg 3, sparse to thick fringing on at least the metatarsus of leg 1 of the male, distinct ventral lip anterior to spinnerets in male (Fig. 6F), female fossae clearly separated with pear-shaped spermathecae at least partially below the fossae. It can be separated from Saitis sensu stricto, which is not found in Australia, by the absence of colored fringing on leg 3 of the male.
