NOV. ( FIGS 12A–H , 13A–H , 14E , 15E , 16E , 17E ) Zoobank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 9D6A2984-EFB0-4921-968B-20A567A8021D . Type material: Holotype : one male MEXICO , Queretaro : Pinal de Amoles , Cueva del Judío , 1 mile south of Pinal de Amoles [ 21.123629 , –99.614371 ]; ( J Reddell , J Fish and P Russell leg; 10 July 1967 ). Four female paratypes from the same locality and date ( AMNH ). Additional material examined: MEXICO , Queretaro : one female , Tejamanil , Cueva del Mercurio , 1 mile south of Pinal de Amoles [ 21.12866 , –99.646778 ]; ( J Reddell , J Fish and P Russell leg; 10 July 1967 ; AMNH ) .

F, epigynum, caudal view (cleared with methyl salicylate) G, epigynum, caudal view. H, epigynum, dorsal view. Scale bars: A–C, 0.5 mm; D: 0.2 mm; E–H: 0.1 mm. Etymology: This Portuguese noun is derived from the Latin adjective tricolor , three-coloured, referring to the three-coloured (black, yellow and white) body of Jalapyphantes species. It is also an homage to the Fluminense Football Club of Rio de Janeiro , Brazil , which uses Tricolor as a nickname, derived from its three-coloured jersey (green, garnet red and white). The epithet is a noun in apposition and not declinable. Diagnosis: Females of J.tricolor are distinguished from all its congeners by having the epigynal lobes partially depressed ( Figs 12H , 20E ) instead of uniformly round. The scape base is ellipsoidal, as in J. minoratus , but stretching sideways. Males of J. tricolor have a DSA similar to that of J. minoratus , but with squared end with a small denticle projecting distally ( Fig. 13E ). Figure 26. Selenyphantes gaimani .

Scale bars: A–C, 1 mm; D: 0.2 mm; E–H: 0.1 mm. Description: Female ( paratype ). Total length 4.20. Prosoma 1.92 long, 1.35 wide. Prosoma height 1.46, fovea height 1.39. Opisthosoma 2.27 long, 1.81 wide, 2.87 high. Clypeus height 0.29. AME 0.04, ALE 0.06, PME 0.06, PLE 0.06. Femur I 2.54 (1.32× prosoma length), Metatarsus I 2.37, TmI 0.17. Prosoma light orange, uniform with slightly darker colour marks on the margins of the prosoma. Opisthosoma beige with some sparse black marks on the posterior part. Legs same colour as prosoma, with annuli in all segments ( Fig. 12A–D ). Spermathecae small, falciform. FD long, coiled and thick exiting the epigynum dorsally. Figure 27. Selenyphantes gaimani .

Opisthosoma beige with some occasional black marks on the posterior part. Legs same colour as prosoma, with annuli in all segments ( Fig. 13A–D ). Radix thick in the first half. RCm is similar to the one in J. minoratus but much more sclerotized. RCs broad, sclerotized, and spread apart from the RCm ( Fig. 13G–H ). Distribution: MEXICO : Only known from the type locality and surrounding areas in Querétaro ( Fig. 18E ).
