Etymology.
The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Johannes Pachelbel (
1653–1706
), a German composer and organist, and one of the most important composers of the middle Baroque era.
Diagnosis.
Males of
Goloboffia pachelbeli
sp. nov
shares with
G. vellardi
the general aspect of the palpal bulb, but differ from them by a shorter, thicker and uniformly curved embolus (
Figs 56–57
) and by a more spinose metatarsi IV (
Fig. 54
); females differ from the other known species of
Goloboffia
by the ocular group occupying almost the entire cephalic width (0.93) (
Fig. 64
), in combination with the absence of spines on tarsi III and IV (
Figs 66–67
). Females also differ by the shape of the spermathecae with long straight ducts 1.5 longer than spermathecal head width, large oval lobes (
Fig. 70
).
