Mysmenopsis nadineae new species Figs 4, 5, 12A Type material. 1♁ holotype. BRAZIL: Amazonas, Careiro, 15.VII.2007, E.H. Wienskoski leg. (INPA). Paratype. BRAZIL: Same data, 1♀ (INPA). Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Nadine Dupérré, arachnologist who made a major contribution to the taxonomy of Mysmenopsis, describing 25 species, almost half of the known diversity of the genus. Diagnosis. Males of Mysmenopsis nadineae n. sp. resemble those of M. snethlageae n. sp. (Figs 7A–D) M. huascar Baert, 1990 (Figs 18–21 in Baert, 1990) and M. palpalis (Kraus, 1955) (Figs 83–84 in Kraus, 1955) by the very bulky palpal tibia, at least one and a half times wider than the tegulum, but differ by the presence of nine cusps on the retroapical margin of the tibia and by the embolus as long as broad, subquadrate in ventral view (Fig. 5C). While M. snethlageae n. sp. lack cusps and has embolus with slender and curved apex, M. huascar has two cusps and has embolus longer than wide and M. palpalis has six cusps and embolus slender with a slender embolic apophysis. Females resemble those of M. pachacutec Baert, 1990 (Figs 7–8 in Baert, 1990), M. fernandoi Dupérré & Tapia, 2015 (Figs 16–17 in Dupérré & Tapia, 2015), and M. tepuy Dupérré & Tapia, 2020 (Figs 142–143 in Dupérré & Tapia, 2020) by the presence of an invagination at the posterior margin of the epigynum, creating two acuminate posterior ends (Fig. 5E); they differ by the narrower and deeper epigynal invagination (Fig. 5E), which is broader in M. pachacutec and M. tepuy and shallower in M. fernandoi, and by the junction of the spermathecae with the copulation duct forming an elongated structure, about three times longer than wide, with a fold at the retrolateral end (Fig. 5G), while M. fernandoi and M. pachacutec has spherical spermatechae and M. tepuy has spermathecae directed anteriorly and laterally.

Cubas (IBSP 324813). Paratype: one ♁ with same data as holotype (IBSP 324814). Other material examined. HONDURAS: Francisco Morazán: Santa Ana, La Bodega (13°56’40.7”N 87°13’23.9”W), 1♁ (IBSP 324816); 1♁ 1♀ (IBPS 324815, SEM). Etymology. The specific epithet is in honor of Dr. David Chamé-Vázquez (CIBNOR, México), for his great contributions to the study of the Mexican spider fauna and his great importance as a mentor in spider research for the first author. Diagnosis. The males of Strotarchus chamevazquezi sp. nov. resemble those of S. minor Banks, 1909 by the presence of a basal embolar fold that crosses the apical portion of the tegulum, by the long embolus that arises retrolaterally, and by an extremely long cymbium (see Bonaldo et al. 2012: figs 103–104). They are differentiated by the absence of either ppRTA and laRTA (see Bonaldo et al. 2012: figs 103–104), by the arrow-shaped retrolateral tibial apophysis apices in ventral view (square in retrolateral view), and by the balloon-shaped embolar base (Figs 1D, 3A, 3B, 4C). Females resemble those of S. minor by the elliptical atrium (see Bonaldo et al. 2012: fig. 105) but differ by the parallel copulatory ducts, converging abruptly toward the spermathecae, and by the lateral margin of anterior atrium superposed to the atrial posterior margin (Figs 3C, 3D).

Bunyoronius Bonaldo, Ramírez & Haddad gen. nov. Type species: Bunyoronius femoralis sp. nov. Etymology. The generic name, masculine, is a contraction of the words Bunyoro and Carteronius, honoring the Bunyoro people, a pre-colonial Kingdom on the territory of modern Uganda, including the Budongo Forest, type locality of the type species. Diagnosis. Members of the genus Bunyoronius gen. nov. share with those of Carteronius the trilobulated RTA, with an apical spur inserted in the base of the ventral lobe, sperm duct with a single ventral fold, and the basally widened, curved embolus surrounding tegular margins. They can be readily recognized by large apical retrolateral femoral apophysis, ventral fold of sperm duct oriented retro-dorsally; median apophysis absent, pit vestigial; embolus inserted basally, with wide bifid tip (Figs 22A–C, 23A–C, F–I). Females can be recognized by the epigynal plate divided by two lateral, longitudinal ridges, forming a median atrium, and by the copulatory openings oriented anteriorly (Fig. 22D, E). Description. Medium-sized spiders, 6.03 7.70 mm in length. Carapace reddish-brown, surface finely granulate, with few long hairs; very broad, sub-oval, as long as wide, cephalic region weakly demarcated posteriorly, swollen antero-laterally, higher than thoracic region; thoracic region abruptly depressed, posteriorly rounded, thoracic fovea present (Fig. 20B). Clypeus low, height nearly one AME diameter. AER straight in frontal view, ALE oblique, eyes equidistant; PER slightly procurved in dorsal view, slightly wider than AER, eyes equidistant; AME largest, approximately two times ALE diameter, remaining eyes sub-equal in width, medians and PLE circular; ALE suboval. Chilum present, entire, with large median tubercle in both males and females. Chelicerae nearly as long as half the length of carapace, frontal surface granulate, slightly geniculated in both sexes, unmodified in males; basal boss evident, promargin with three teeth, retromargin with two teeth (Fig. 21A). Endites convergent, promargin slightly protruded anteriorly, retromargin slightly excavated; labium sub-squared, as long as wide, slightly longer than half endite length, proximal lateral constrictions shallow. Sternum shield-shaped, slightly longer than wide; surface covered by small hair-bearing tubercles, precoxal and intercoxal sclerites present, margins well defined, especially antero-laterally. Retrocoxal hymen present (Fig. 21B, C). Leg formula: I.II.V.III. Legs long, I–II sturdier; femur I (Fig. 21D) with one dorsal spine, tibia I (Fig. 21F) with seven pairs of ventral spines, metatarsus I with two pairs of ventral spines. Tarsus I with dorsal cluster of trichobothria; tarsal organ sub-apical (Fig. 21E). Abdomen oval, dorsal and ventral scuta absent. Spinnerets not surveyed with SEM; female (under light microscopy): PMS with three cylindrical gland spigots; PLS with two cylindrical gland spigots., Published as part of Eb.

Carteronius gentilis (Simon, 1909) comb. nov. Figs 18, 19; Map 1 Procopius gentilis Simon, 1909: 382 (♂ holotype from “ Fernando Poo: Basilé”, leg. L. Fea, MNHN 22.254 —examined). Note. The male holotype, from Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, is here tentatively associated with a female from continental Africa (Cameroon). Bioko is a continental-shelf island that supports relatively low levels of endemism of angiosperms, bats, birds, reptiles, and amphibians when compared to oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea (Príncipe, São Tomé and Annobón) (Jones 2004). This island was separated from mainland Africa by the rise in sea level at the end of the last glacial period, approximately 10 000 years ago (Schabetsberger et al. 2004; PérezPérez & Yu 2021). Both the Bioko and Cameroon specimens share a strikingly similar dorsal abdominal pattern (Fig. 18A, F), as well as similarities in leg spination. Nevertheless, this association must be tested when additional samples come to light. From a strictly nomenclatural point of view, proposing this doubtful association is preferable to making available a possibly unnecessary specific name. Diagnosis. Males of C. gentilis comb. nov. differ from all other Carteronius species in having a bifid dorsal lobe on the RTA (Fig. 19A, B). Females resemble those of C. myene sp. nov. by the slightly curved transverse ridge (Figs 14A, 19C), but differ by the relatively small posterior sector and the extremely narrow copulatory duct in relation to the spermathecae (Fig. 19C, D).

(sieving along trail in primary rainforest) (MRAC 223.475). ♀ paratype, same locality and collectors, 10.XI.2006 (Fog 3, primary rainforest) (MRAC 220.925). Etymology. The specific name is a Latin adjective meaning arboreal, in reference to the fact that most of the known specimens were collected by canopy fogging. Diagnosis. Males of Carteronius arboreus sp. nov. are similar to those of C. ashanti sp. nov. by the presence of a sub-apical embolar process (Figs 8A, 10A), but differ by the dorsal lobe of the RTA, which is broad and retrolaterally oriented, and the rounded medial lobe, which is small in relation to the dorsal lobe, and share the same base (Fig. 8B). In C. ashanti sp. nov., the dorsal lobe is spoon-shaped and the medial lobe longer and fang-shaped, with its own base. Females resemble those of C. sudanus comb. nov. in the strongly recurved epigynal transversal ridge (Figs 4C, 8C), but differ by the lateral plates of the epigynal posterior sector being strongly sclerotized (Fig. 8C). Description. Male. (MRAC 223475). Measurements: Total length 6.03, CL 3.16, CW 2.71, AL 2.95, AW 2.24, SL 1.39, SW 1.49.

Carteronius Simon Mandane Karsch, 1880: 337, pl. 12, fig. 4 (type species by monotypy, M. sudana). Preoccupied by Kinberg 1866, in Spionidae, Annelida: Polychaeta) Carteronius Simon, 1897: 85 (type species by original designation, C. helluo Simon, 1896). Mandaneta Strand, 1932: 140. Replacement name for Mandane Karsch. syn. nov. Notes on the identity of Carteronius. Simon (1896) described four species of Carteronius: C. helluo (the type species), C. vittiger, C. scriptus, and C. fuscus. The first three species were described from males only, and C. fuscus from a female. The type locality is Sierra Leone for C. helluo, Madagascar for C. vittiger and C. scriptus, and Mauritius for C. fuscus. Based on Simon’s original Latin descriptions, the male of C. helluo can be considered to differ significantly from the males of C. vittiger and C. scriptus: it has a strongly rugose cephalothorax, granulose chelicerae, anterior tibiae with six short ventral spine pairs, anterior metatarsi with four long ventral spine pairs, a male palpal tibia that is only slightly longer than the patella, a large, lamelliform, bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis and an oval, blunt cymbium. Carteronius vittiger and C. scriptus both have an almost smooth cephalothorax and smooth chelicerae, anterior tibiae with four long ventral spine pairs, anterior metatarsi with two long ventral spine pairs, a male palpal tibia that is longer than the patella, a small, sharp and simple retrolateral tibial apophysis, and a very elongate, curved cymbium that is much longer than the bulbus itself. Simon (1897) presented the genus description of Carteronius, transferred Cheiracanthium argenticomum Keyserling, 1877 to the new genus (pp. 79–80), and synonymized C. scriptus with C. argenticomus (p. 83). Upon consulting the MNHN collection (Paris) and studying the type specimens of Simon’s four species, it turned out that the vial of the type species C. helluo did not contain the specimen corresponding with Simon’s original description. Instead, this vial, labeled Clubionidae — Carteronius E.S. helluo E.S. 10.611 Sierra Leone: Free town, contained a smooth male specimen with four and two ventral spine pairs on the anterior tibiae and metatarsi, respectively, as well as a male palp with a long tibia and cymbium and a simple retrolateral tibial apophysis, as described in Simon (1896) for C. vittiger and C. scriptus (Figs 1A–E; both here transferred to Donuea, the latter under D. argenticoma). On the other hand, the C. scriptus vial, labeled Clubionidae — Carteronius E.S. scriptus E.S. 14.625 Diego Suares, contained a rugose male specimen with six and four ventral spine pairs on the anterior tibiae and metatarsi, as well a male palp with a short tibia, a blunt cymbium, and a bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis, as described in Simon (1896) for C. helluo (Figs 1F–J). It must be concluded that the type specimen of C. helluo has been accidentally switched with the type specimen of C. scriptus. After proper photographic documentation (Fig 1A–E), the specimens were re-switched to their original vials to avoid confusion in the future. The C. vittiger vial, labeled Clubionidae — Carteronius E.S. vittiger E.S. 10.188 Diego Suares, can still be assumed to contain the correct male type specimen, as it has a spider that corresponds in detail with Simon’s original (1896) description of this species. The C. vittiger type specimen is slightly smaller than the C. scriptus type, having a brown cephalothorax, with a darker eye region and two dark dentate bands, brown chelicerae, and a male palpal tibia that is longer than the patella. The abdomen of the C. vittiger type is completely bleached and can no longer be compared with Simon’s description of its markings. The C. scriptus type has lost its coloration over time, but it can be recognized by the more robust chelicerae and the more robust ventral spines on the anterior tibiae and a male palpal tibia that is only slightly longer than the patella. Diagnosis. Members of the genus Carteronius share with those of Bunyoronius gen. nov. the trilobulated RTA, with an apical spur inserted in the base of the ventral lobe, a sperm duct with a single ventral fold, and the basally widened, curved embolus surrounding the tegular margins. They can be readily recognized by the absence of modifications on the male palpal femur (with a large apical retrolateral apophysis in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); the ventral fold of sperm duct oriented prolaterally (retro-dorsally in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); a hook-shaped median apophysis inserted retro-apically in a deep, wide circular pit (vestigial in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); and embolus inserted retrolaterally with a narrow tip (basally inserted, with a wide tip in Bunyoronius gen. nov.) (Figs 4A, B, 8A, B, 10A, B). Females can be recognized by the epigynal plate divided by a single transversal ridge, delimiting posterior and anterior sectors (two lateral longitudinal ridges, delimiting a median atrium in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); epigynal posterior sector with two lateral plates; and copulatory openings oriented posteriorly (oriented anteriorly in Bunyoronius gen. nov.) (Figs 5A, B, 8C, D). Description. Medium to large-sized spiders, 6.03 – 13.45 mm in length. Carapace heavily sclerotized, surface granulate with scarce long setae; very broad, sub-oval, as long as wide, cephalic region well-demarcated posteriorly, swollen anterolaterally, higher than thoracic region; thoracic region abruptly depressed, posteriorly rounded, thoracic fovea present (Figs 2, 3A – E, 13B, D). Clypeus low, height less than AME diameter, generally nearly half AME diameter (Fig. 2). AER straight in frontal view, ALE oblique, eyes equidistant; PER procurved in dorsal view, only slightly wider than AER, eyes equidistant; AME largest, approximately two times ALE diameter, remaining eyes sub-equal in size. Eyes circular. Chilum present, entire, generally bilobed, with two geminated tubercles; with a large median tubercle only in females of C. lumumba sp. nov. and C. simoni sp. nov.. Chelicerae sclerotized, slightly longer than half the length of the carapace, frontal surface granulate, strongly geniculate in females, slightly geniculated in males, heavily modified in males of C. sudanus (frontally with anterior excavation and blunt median tubercle on prolateral surface, Fig. 2A) and C. lumumba sp. nov. (ventrally with retromarginal proximal tooth modified into a large keel and a proximal constriction on prolateral margin, Fig. 16A), basal boss evident, promargin usually with three teeth, retromargin with two teeth. Endites convergent, promargin anteriorly protruded, retromargin slightly excavated; labium sub-squared, nearly as long as wide, slightly longer than half an endite’s length, proximal lateral constrictions shallow. Sternum shield-shaped, slightly longer than wide; surface covered by small setae-bearing tubercles, precoxal and intercoxal sclerites present, margins well defined, especially anterolaterally. Leg formula: I.II.IV.III. Legs long, I–II more robust; femur I with one dorsal spine, tibiae I with five to seven pairs of ventral spines (Fig. 11C); metatarsus I with two or four pairs of ventral spines. Femora with short setae inserted on tubercles; scopulae sparse, present in all tarsi and distal third of metatarsi I–II, metatarsi III–IV with sparse cluster of long setae. Tarsal trichobothria with lowered distal plate below a transverse ridge (only C. sudanus and C. ashanti sp. nov. surveyed, Figs 6D, 11F). Abdomen oval, with distinctive chevron markings variable across species (Figs 3A, B; 7A, C, 15A, C, 17A, 18A, F); dorsal and ventral scuta absent. Spinnerets (only female of C. sudanus surveyed with SEM): ALS with two major ampullate gland spigots near the middle of the spinning field and several piriform glands spigots around; PMS with three cylindrical gland spigots, two minor ampullate glands spigots, and 2–3 aciniform gland spigots; PLS with two cylindrical gland spigots and several aciniform glands spigots (Fig. 6F–I). Male palp: retrolateral femoral apophysis absent, retrolateral tibial apophysis complex, with three lobes, ventral lobe with apical spur (Figs 4A, 8A); cymbium densely covered by setae, with a denser dorso-apical cluster of short chemosensory setae, forming a conspicuous patch (Fig. 12A); median apophysis hook-shaped; embolus basally widened, curved, surrounding tegular margins, with membranous tip (tip bifid in C. sudanus and C. lumumba sp. nov.), hyaline conductor present, lamelliform; retrolateral apical tegular process present in, C. arboreus sp. nov., C. ashanti sp. nov. and C. gentilis (Figs 8A, 10A, 19A). Epigynum characterized by the presence of a transverse ridge delimiting anterior and posterior sectors; posterior sector with a pair of rounded plates (inconspicuous in C. lumumba sp. nov.); two copulatory openings located posteriorly (Figs 4C, 14A, C, 16D, 19C); CD distinct between primary and secondary spermathecae; ventral sector of CD (distal to ST2 insertion) long, generally thick (narrow in C. gentilis). Secondary spermathecae generally placed anteriorly to the level of the anterior curve of the ventral sector of CD (posteriorly in C. myene sp. nov. and C. teke sp. nov.), commonly tapering (globose in C. arboreus sp. nov.); dorsal sector of CD (between ST1 and ST2, proximal to ST2 insertion) wide, generally S-shaped (nearly straight in C. arboreous sp. nov. and folded ventrally in C. myene sp. nov. and C. teke sp. nov.). ST1 appendiciform, posteriorly positioned, generally smaller than ST2. Fertilization ducts large in relation to ST1 size (Figs 4D, 5C, D, 8D, 14B, D, 16E). Distribution. West and Central Africa. Misplaced species. The three species presently included in Carteronius other than the type species belong to the genus Donuea (recently transferred to Corinnidae). They share with described representatives of the genus (the type species D. decorsei (Simon, 1903) and D. collustrata Bosselaers & Dierick, 2010 the large, highly modified median apophysis and the long, filiform embolus in the male palp (Fig. 1B–D), or the flat epigynal plate with a long, narrow atrium with anchoring lateral ridges that may be present in all representatives of that genus. - Carteronius argenticomus (Keyserling, 1877) = Donuea argenticoma (Keyserling, 1877) comb. nov. - Carteronius vittiger Simon, 1896 = Donuea vittiger (Simon, 1896) comb. nov. - Carteronius fuscus Simon, 1896 = Donuea fusca (Simon, 1896) comb. nov.

Three new six-eyed species of the spider genus Caponina Simon, 1891 are described, photographed, diagnosed and illustrated: C. alejandroi sp. nov. (male and female) from the Boyacá Department, C. bochalema sp. nov. (male) from the Santander Department and C. huila sp. nov. (male) from the Huila Department. Also, a emended diagnosis for the genus, a distribution map and an identification key for all species of Caponina are provided.

Caponina alejandroi sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: A3FDEA0F-C665-48D3-8F89-71B28114C022 Figs 1A–I, 2A–E, 5A–D, 6B Diagnosis Males of C. alejandroi sp. nov. resembles those of C. bochalema sp. nov. (Fig. 3E–G) by a short and pointed cymbium that does not reach over twice the tibia length, but can be distinguished by a smaller tegulum, pear-shaped in lateral view (its size is less than the cymbium length), by a thicker embolus with rhomboidal tip (Fig. 2A–C), and by having a more pronounced dorsal tubercle on the palpal femur (Fig. 1E–G). Females can be distinguished from other known species of Caponina by having long, boomerang-shaped internal pair of sclerotized bars (psb) with elongated and thin boomerang-shaped anterolateral extensions (ae) fused from the base to the middle of the pair of sclerotized bars (Figs 1H–I, 2D–E). Etymology The specific name is a patronym in honor of Alejandro Sánchez Barreda, the youngest son of the first author.

Genus Caponina Simon, 1892 Caponina Simon, 1892: 573 ( type species C. testacea Simon, 1892 by monotypy). Bruchnops Mello-Leitão, 1939: 629; type species B. notabilis Mello-Leitão (by monotypy), synonymized by Platnick (1994a). Emended diagnosis Members of Caponina can be distinguished from all genera of Nopinae by having the tarsi entire, lacking adesmatic joins; and from other non-nopine genera with six or four eyes such as Nasutonops Brescovit & Sánchez-Ruiz, 2016, Iraponia Kranz-Baltensperger, Platnick & Dupérré, 2009 and Notnops Platnick, 1994 as follows: from the six-eyed Nasutonops by the lack of a clypeal horn on the carapace; from the six-eyed Iraponia by the lack of a postepigastric scutum on the abdominal venter in males and by having a pair of sclerotized bars on the female internal genitalia, lacking the anteromedian receptaculum; and from the four-eyed Notnops by having the embolus protruding ventrally from the apical median area of the tegulum in males (instead of from the posterior area), and by the lack of an anteromedian receptaculum in the female internal genitalia. Other representatives of non-nopine genera such as Calponia Platnick, 1993 and Caponia Simon, 1887 have eight eyes; Diploglena Purcell, 1904, Laoponia Platnick & Jäger, 2008, Taintnops Platnick, 1994 and Tisentnops Platnick, 1994 have only two eyes, and Carajas Brescovit & Sánchez-Ruiz, 2016 is completely devoid of eyes.

Female (paratype, Fig. 2C–D, G–H) MEASUREMENTS. Total length 5.91. Carapace 2.11 long, 1.74 wide. Sternum 1.33 long, 1.08 wide. Legs: I: 5.01; II: 4.36; III: 3.51; IV: 5.74. COLORATION. As in the male (Fig. 2C–D). GENITALIA. External genitalia with narrow, triangular area below genital opening (Fig. 2G); internal genitalia not studied (internal membranous structures completely destroyed during enzymatic digestion, Fig. 2H). Variation Males (n = 3): total length: 4.72–4.94; carapace length: 2.01–2.05. Natural history All types were collected with pitfall traps baited with human excrement, used to collect dung beetles and ants, mainly in frailejón plants (Espeletia grandiflora Humb. & Bonpl.) and grassland. Specimens belonging to ant-eating spiders such as Zodariidae Thorell, 1881 were collected together with Medionops in large numbers, probably due to the high availability of prey. Aspects on the natural history of Nopinae spiders are poorly known and only a few studies on the trophic specialization of Nops have been done (see García et al. 2018; Teruel & Sánchez-Ruiz 2000). These studies highlight the remarkable preference of some nopine species for feeding on arachnids (little scorpions and other spiders). Although no detailed studies have been conducted, the adhesive membranous structures (crista and gladius) on the first two pairs of nopine legs are pobably involved in the prey capture process. Distribution Known only from Boyacá department, Colombia (Fig. 6). Remarks The holotype was found in a high Andean humid forest (Fig. 8C–D) and the female paratype was found in a protected area (Sanctuary of Flora and Fauna Iguaque) where human intervention is limited (Fig. 8E–F). The record of this female specimen is separated by only 24 km from the type locality and 8 km from the most distant examined specimen located outside the type locality. The height above sea level between type and female localities hardly differs by about 300 m and even the environments are very similar in both locations (Fig 8C–F). We tentatively matched this female with males from the type locality by similarities in the coloration pattern, but confirmation of this association will be possible only when more samples come to light. We believe that proposing this doubtful association is preferable to making available a possibly unnecessary specific name., Published as part of Martínez, Leonel, Sánchez-Ruiz, Alexander & Bonaldo, Alexandre B., 2021, The spider genus Medionops Sánchez-Ruiz & Brescovit (Araneae: Caponiidae) in Colombia, with the description of four new species, pp. 61-79 in European Journal of Taxonomy 773 on pages 65-69, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.773.1511, http://zenodo.org/record/5536387, {"references":["Garcia L.

Males and females were collected in the same phytophysiognomy (Terra Firme Forest) but nearly 180 km apart. They are tentatively matched by similarities in the coloration pattern, but confirmation of this association will be only possible when more samples come to light. We believe that proposing this doubtful association is preferable than making available a possibly unnecessary specific name. Etymology. The specific name is a patronym honoring the late Norman I. Platnick, for his enormous contribution to the field of Systematics. Diagnosis. Males of Tupirinna platnicki sp. nov. resemble those of T. mutum sp. nov. by the presence of a subapical embolar reinforcement ring, but can be recognized by the presence of a small sub-apical tegular process inserted apart from embolar base (Fig. 10A). Females resemble those of T. goeldi sp. nov. by the interrupted anterior border of the copulatory opening, but are readily recognized by the posterior border of the copulatory opening being sub-quadrangular (Fig. 10C, D).

Tupirinna rosae Bonaldo, 2000 Figs 1, 8A–I Tupirinna rosae Bonaldo, 2000: 133, figs 7, 20, 76, 86–88, 118, 327–329, 339–343 (♂ holotype from Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, 21.XII.1992, leg. H. Höfer & T. Gasnier; deposited in INPA, examined). Emended diagnosis. Males of Tupirinna rosae differ from those of all other species with the ventral lobe of RTA not divided basally (T. platnicki sp. nov., T. regiae sp. nov., T. mutum sp. nov. and T. araguaia sp. nov.) by the apical spur inserted medially on the ventral lobe of RTA and by the presence of a TEP (Fig. 8B). Females resemble those of T. regiae sp. nov. by the copulatory duct developed anteriorly to the copulatory opening, but can be distinguished by the copulatory opening represented by an inverted V-shaped slit (see Bonaldo 2000: fig. 341).
