Breda bicruciata differs from the other species of Breda by having the extremity of the RvTA apophysis curved ventrally in the male palp ( Fig. 54 ). The females are similar to those of Breda modesta ( Fig. 55 ), from which they seem to differ by having the thoracic region higher than the cephalic region in the carapace. Description.

Labium, sternum and endites light brown. RvTA tip curved ventrally, embolus tip short and relatively straight ( Figs 53–54 , 35 ). Legs 4132, brown, with sparse white hairs.

Spinnerets light brown. FIGURES 36–41. Tip of embolus. Breda modesta : 36. B. bistriata : 37. B. lubomirskii : 38. B. milvina : 39. B. akypueruna : 40. B. tristis : 41. FIGURES 42–46.
