Description

Spiders in this genus have a characteristically dark, often jet black, carapace. The legs are reddish, and typically have dark annulations. As with most trachelids, species of Trachelopachys have no leg spines, however they do bear rows of short, thick, black cuspules on the distal segments of the front two pairs of legs.[4]
