(Fig. 52, 53, 63) Type material. - Female holotype and female paratype from Pantanal Sul-Matogrossense, Passo da Lontra, Corumba , Brazil, May 23 1993, J. Raizer col., deposited in IBSP 19482 ( holotype ) and 19483. Figures 52-53 [drawings]. Ancylometes pantanal sp.n. : (52) female epigyne, ventral view; (53) same, dorsal view. Scale bars = 1 mm.

Diagnosis. - Female epigyne wider than long with medianly very broad median plate, anteriorly with spoonlike projection and narrowing strongly to posterior margin (Fig. 52).

Spermathecae relatively small (Fig. 53). Description. - Female ( holotype ).
