Etymology.
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition referring to the
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
Males of
Patrera chucurui
n. sp.
can be differentiated from those of the remaining species of the genus by their strongly develop, wide, curved ventral tegular process, by a second spine-shaped projection closely related to the embolus, and by the very long retrolateral tibial apohysis (
Fig. 24F
̅G). Females are distinguished from the remaining species by the ellipse-shaped atrium, lateral borders united posteriorly, convulated, long copulatory ducts and by the absence of a hood (
Fig. 24H
̅I).

Abdomen: length 4.17, epigastric furrow 1.50 from tracheal spiracle, spiracle 1.61 from base of spinnerets. Palp: retrolateral tibial apophysis bifid, large, with the ventral branch knife-shaped and longer than dorsal branch, which is thin; cymbium a third of the tibia length; subtegulum longer than wide; tegulum longer than wide, with a strongly sclerotized, large, curved ventral tegular process, and a second spine-shaped projection closely related to the embolus; median apophysis long, laminar, curved and apically situated; embolus short, apically filiform, with narrow base and proximally inserted on the tegulum (
