The specific name refers to the original inhabitants of the margins of the old Juruti Lake, currently the oldest part of the city of Juruti. It is also the name of a tree of good solid timber, that is common to the region; noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Males of G. muirapinima sp. n. are distinguished from all other congeners by the palp with embolus bearing a bifid basal projection, with one branch long, distally widened and tapering towards tip and one shorter, distally semi-rounded branch ( Figs 44 , 70 ). Females resemble those of S. mapia sp. n. and S. urucu by the epigyne with MS bearing single epigynal pocket ( Figs 29 , 46 , 79 ). They are distinguished from the latter species by the pocket much wider than long (as long as wide, or longer than wide in the latter species) ( Figs 46 , 55 ).
