Etymology.
The specific epithet is a patronym in honor to arachnologist Alexandre B. Bonaldo, for his contributions to taxonomic studies of Neotropical spiders.
Diagnosis.
Males of
Patrera bonaldoi
n. sp.
can be recognized by having both branches of retrolateral tibial apophysis short and truncated, by the laminar-shaped, very long embolus with filiform apex and by the membranous ventral tegular process (
Fig. 13
C–E). Females resemble those of
P. carvalhoi
n. sp.
by the epigynal plate with lateral border curved in the anterior region (
Fig. 15
F–G), but differs by the long and thick hood (triangular in
P. carvalhoi
), thin and sinuous copulatory ducts (wide in
P. carvalhoi
), and oval spermathecae (bean-shaped in
P. carvalhoi
) (
Fig. 13
F–G).
Description.
Male.

Abdomen: length 3.25, epigastric furrow 0.94 from tracheal spiracle, spiracle 1.38 from base of spinnerets. Palp: retrolateral tibial apophysis bifid, short and with both branches apically truncated, dorsal branch wider than the ventral one; cymbium twice longer than tibia; subtegulum longer than wide, thin, with the distal projection inconspicuous; tegulum longer than wide with a membranous and laminar distal projection; median apophysis very short, apically situated; embolus long, laminar, apically filiform with narrow base and basally inserted on the tegulum (

Variation.
Males (n=8): total length: 5.70–6.76; carapace length: 3.00–3.45; femur I length: 2.36–3.01.
Natural History.
The
type
specimens were collected beating low shrubs, in a conserved high mountain wet forest ecosystem, together with the specimens of
P. florezi
n. sp.
, at an elevation between
1563–5130m
.
Distribution.
Only known from
