Tapia ( ZMH-A0015734 , A0015735) . Etymology. The specific name is a non-Latin noun (invariable), taken from the Quechua language meaning small mountain, refering to the habitat. Diagnosis. Males most resemble B. pristirana n. sp. but are distinguished by are straight fovea ( Fig. 51A ), procurved in the latter ( Fig. 48A ), tibia I without megaspine ( Fig. 51D ) present in B. pristirana n. sp. ( Fig. 48D ). FIGURE 52. Bolostromus urku n. sp. Male holotype. A. Palp, prolateral view. B. Palp, retrolateral view. C. Bulb, prolateral view. D. Bulb, ventral view. E. Bulb, retrolateral view.
