Taxonomic Revision And Morphology Of The Trapdoor Spider Genus Actinopus (Mygalomorphae: Actinopodidae) In Argentina Author Ríos-Tamayo, D. Author Goloboff, P. A. text Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2018 2018-03-20 2018 419 1 84 journal article 0003-0090 Actinopus magnus , sp. nov. Figures 25A–G , 45 TYPE MATERIAL : HOLOTYPE ♂ (MACN-Ar 36622): Córdoba : Villa General Belgrano [ 31°58′ S 64°33′ W ], 12 Mar. 2010 , G. Villafarie , 1♂ . ETYMOLOGY: The specific name, magnus , a Latin adjective, refers to the size of the species, with the largest male of all Argentine species. DIAGNOSIS: Males of A. magnus can be distinguished by their large size. The copulatory bulb (fig. 25D–F) with Ak extending to the apex and MRk developed, different from all other species (except A. puelche , A. patagonia , and A. ramirezi ; from which A. magnus differs by the the low number of retrolateral spines in tibiae II; fig. 25B). Cheliceral prolongation without cusps, different from A. insignis , A. gerschiapelliarum , A. taragui , A. puelche , and A. palmar . Female: Unknown.
