Paratype
:
one female with same data as holotype (
ICN
–Ar 8269).
Etymology.
The epithet is a noun in apposition that honors the mythic figure of the Muisca religion
Bochica
(also known as Nemquetaha, Nemqueteba or Sadigua), that similarly to the Incan god Viracocha or the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, was the founding hero of their civilization, and who, according to the legend, brought morals and laws to the people and taught them agriculture and other crafts.
Diagnosis.
Males of
A. bochica
sp. nov.
are similar to those of
A. pae
sp. nov
and
A. tisquesusa
sp. nov.
by the simple, short RTA. However, they can be distinguished from those by the shorter RTA, with a bilobed process on the embolic disc (ED) (
Figs 1a–b
,
20a–b
). Females of
A. bochica
sp. nov.
are similar to those of
A. chie
sp. nov.
and
A. sikuani
sp. nov.
by the short copulatory ducts, but can be distinguished from those by the presence of a deep medial pocket (po) in the epigyne, with a quadrangular laminar process (
Figs 1c–d
,
24a,
24g
).
