Taxonomic revision of the spider genera Agyneta and Tennesseellum (Araneae, Linyphiidae) of North America north of Mexico with a study of the embolic division within Micronetinae sensu Saaristo & Tanasevitch 1996 Author Dupérré, Nadine text Zootaxa 2013 3674 1 1 189 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3674.1.1 9c8e7b58-7cc0-407f-a8e9-d76311dcd290 1175-5326 283954 981F80ED-96D7-40C7-8A3C-677954416A2E Agyneta danielbelangeri new species Figs 246–249 , map 17 Type material: Male holotype from Canada , Alberta, Waterton Lakes National Park, 20-28 June 1980 , meadow with willows, edge of beaver pond, I. M Smith ( CNC ). EXAMINED . Etymology: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Daniel Bélanger, a Québécois author-composer and singer, for his music and poetry that accompanied countless hours of spider studies. Diagnosis: Males are diagnosed from all other Agyneta species by their wrench-shaped lamella characteristica ( Fig. 246 ). From A. fratrella and A. pistrix by their smaller dorsal cymbial tubercle ( Fig. 247 ). Description: Male : Total length 1.56; carapace length 0.76, width 0.64. MAP. 17.

CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapace yellow-brown, shiny, finely reticulate; margin, pars cephalica and radiating lines lightly suffused with dark gray; trident mark present. Sternum strongly suffused with dark gray. Clypeus height 2.5. Chelicerae yellow-brown, excavated; ~ 19 seta-tipped tubercles; promargin three teeth, retromargin three denticles and rounded projections near base of fang. Cheliceral stridulatory organ with ~38 well spaced striae, closer basally. ABDOMEN: Uniformly dark gray. LEGS: Light yellow; leg I total length: 3.29; leg III total length: 2.17; Tm I: 0.22, Tm IV: absent. GENITALIA: Palpal retrolateral tibial apophysis well sclerotized, with small pointed tip; dorsal tibial apophysis with rounded tip, smooth, not strongly sclerotized; two retrolateral and one dorsal trichobothria ( Fig. 246 ). Cymbium triangular; glabrous depression present ( Fig 246 ); dorsal cymbial tubercle smooth, anvil-shaped; ventral cymbial tubercle elongated, with rounded rugose tip; prolateral notch deep ( Fig. 247 ). Paracymbium apically constricted, apical pocket long, anterior pocket short, deep and curved, making a small cover, posterior pocket absent ( Fig. 246 ). Embolus tip pointed with rounded prong; ventro-retrolaterally with rows of spines; basally excavated with well sclerotized basal flange; Fickert’s gland elongated, set basally; ventral lamella transparent, pointed; thumb long, reaching beyond the embolus proper, with well sclerotized tip ( Fig. 248 ). Embolus proper set basally ( Fig. 248 ). Anterior terminal apohysis long and narrow with long protrusions; posterior terminal apophysis small with serrated tip and a large basal prong; lamella characteristica with bifid, wellsclerotized tip ( Fig. 249 ).
