ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Nadine Dupérre´, in recognition for her many contributions to oonopid taxonomy.
DIAGNOSIS: Males of
Simlops nadinae
differs from those of
S. juruti
and
S. campinarana
by the embolus with truncated apex and by the prolateral process inserted apically, about the same length as the embolar apex (figs. 300, 301). Females differ from those of
S. juruti
and
S. campinarana
by the straight epigastric furrow margin, without median notch (fig. 131, 324).
MALE (PBI_OON 40566, figs. 116–123, 280, 300, 301): Total length 1.70. Carapace dark red-brown, sternum and mouthparts orange-brown, legs pale orange, without color pattern; abdomen soft portions pale white, abdominal scuta pale orange. Sternal microsculpture covering almost entire surface, absent in front of coxae. Endites with retrolateral distal projection inconspicuous, indistinct from median process; prolateral projection large, blunt, strongly folded retrolaterally (fig. 280). Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, covering about 3/4 of abdominal length. Palp: embolus enlarged medially, bearing an apical process inserted in prolateral margin, distal end truncated; conductor small, lamellar, inserted adjacent to embolus base (figs. 121–123, 300, 301).
FEMALE (00040697, figs. 124–131, 324): Total length 2.10. Dorsal scutum absent. Epigastric furrow medially straight, medially sclerotized, without median notch, not connected laterally to anterior spiracles; postepigastric scutum restricted to groove connecting posterior spiracles, enlarged laterally around posterior spiracles, without discrete lateral sclerotizations. Genitalia with thick posteromedian rod, anterior end quadrangular; sinuous, small transverse bar with short,
