Note.
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
).
