In addition to the genus diagnosis, the following features characterize the species:MALEBody: Markings: Opistosoma with dark or bright spots . basic colouring dark. Eyes: AER: dorsal edge recurve. Labium: Length: longer than wide. Palp: Tibia - retrolateral tibial apophysis - characteristics: dorsal serration indistinct but present. base of RTA not or not distinctly wider than distal section. RTA in ventral view medium-sized in width (between 3x longer than broad and 4.5x). RTA medium-sized in length. RTA in retrolateral view more or less parallel with longitudinal axis of palp. RTA in retrolateral view without bent (or just indistinct bent). Tibia - ventral bump - size: absent or at least not recognisable as such. Cymbium: Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally : absent. Tegulum: Width: tegulum narrower than cymbium. Shape of proximal half: proximal tegulum lobe present. proximal tegulum lobe as such absent. Proximal lobe - position: at retrolateral half of tegulum. Proximal lobe - size rel.: broad. Proximal lobe - shape: regularly rounded. Special structures: without special structures. Sperm duct - location: occupying clearly more than retrolateral half and at most 3/4. occupying more than retrolateral 3/4 of tegulum. Sperm duct - shape: shape not recognisable, as only parts of sperm duct visible through tegulum surface. Embolus: Base position: in prolateral half (or, depending on the size, prolateral 2/3, 3/4, etc.) of tegulum, but not reaching the prolateral margin; at distal section. Base circle size: medium-sized. large (width between 2/3 and 3/4 the width of tegulum). Base - special structures: Special structures at/ on embolus base absent (except for indistinct ridges or flat bulges that are often recognisable). Arising point: 6 o´clock-position. 7 o´clock-position. Direction of distalmost section: prolatero-distally (with between 11° and 50° angle from longitudinal axis of cymbium). width relation - at arising point - subdistally: from 4.1x to 7.5x broader. width relation - subdistally - centrally: from > 1/2 to < 3/4 the width of central section. General structure: with more than 3 longitudinal ridges. medium-sized, between 1/2 and 1x the width of tegulum. with more than 1/2 winding but less than 3/4 winding. without distinct embolic lamella over entire embolus length. without apophysis. in ventral view subdistally distinctly narrower than proximally. quite broad and hose-shaped. massive (centrally almost as broad or broader than width of sperm duct). Special structure: S-shaped. sickle-shaped. distally rounded. without apohysis (apophyses). Distribution: Geographical Distribution: South America. |
