Figs 5 , 14 , 71–98 ; Map 1 Type material: Holotype : male from road to Manu, km 165, Consuelo, Cusco, Peru , litter under crown of fallen tree, 7 October 1982 , L.E. Watrous & G. Mazurek leg. ( FMNH 0 33 572, PBI _OON 10079). Paratype : one female from Tambopata, Madre de Dios, Peru ( 12°34'23.02"S , 69°12'50.06"W ), litter under crow of fallen tree, 28 October 1982 , L.E. Watrous & G. Mazurek leg. ( FMNH 0 33 543, PBI _OON 10050). Etymology . The specific name is a noun in apposition and refers to the ancestral people who lived in the region where the specimens were collected. Diagnosis . Males resemble those of N. coca sp . nov . ( Figs 49, 50, 54 ), N. beni sp . nov . ( Figs 108–111 ) and N. tuparro sp . nov. ( Figs 127, 128, 131, 132 ) by the smooth carapace, with enlarged setal sockets on the posterior surface, unmodified sternum, and absence of denticles on abdominal dorsal scutum ( Figs 71–73, 75 ). Differ from those of N. coca sp . nov . ( Fig. 58 ) by the presence of a prolateral, proximal embolar lamella ( Fig. 87 ); from those of N. beni sp . nov . ( Fig. 11 ) by the shorter embolar apical projection ( Fig. 5 ) and from those of N. tuparro sp . nov. ( Figs 12 , 138 ) by the absence of an additional, retrolateral embolar process ( Figs 5 , 78 , 86 ). Females differ from those of N. coca sp . nov . ( Fig. 62 ) by the smooth carapace and from those of N. beni sp . nov . ( Fig. 15 ) by the genital median element placed anteriorly ( Fig. 14 ). Description . Male (PBI_OON 10680): total length 2.30. Cephalothorax: carapace dark red-brown, broadly oval, pars cephalica slightly elevated, posterolateral surface without spikes, surface and sides smooth; lateral margin with small denticles ( Figs 74–75 ); posterior part with one pair of well-developed tubercles ( Figs 75 , 82 ); recurved set of setae on posterior surface with four small tubercles ( Fig. 82 ). Clypeus margin slightly reborded, straight in frontal view ( Fig. 74 ). Sternum as long as wide, dark red-brown, with smooth surface. Chelicerae, endites and labium dark red-brown. Abdomen: book lung covers large and round. Dorsal scutum dark red-brown, middle surface and sides smooth, anterior half without projecting denticles ( Figs 77 , 84 ). Epigastric and postepigastric scutum dark red-brown. Legs: orange-brown. Leg spination: tibia I v4-4 -0; metatarus I v2-2 -0. Genitalia: epigastric region with sperm pore small and circular. Palp proximal articles, bulb and cymbium pale orange. Embolus without prolateral prong, apical projection truncated ( Figs 86, 88 ). Female (PBI_OON 10680): total length 2.56. Cephalothorax: carapace posterior surface with two pairs of tubercles ( Fig. 93 ). Clypeus high ( Fig. 95 ). Abdomen: groove connecting the posterior spiracles bearing pockets ( Fig. 98 ). Legs: leg spination: tibia I v6-2 -2; II v4-4 -0; metatarsus I v4-2 -0; II v4 -0-2. Genitalia: circular genital median element ( Figs 14 , 98 ). Other material examined.
