Etymology.
The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Dr. Joanna Gardziṅska, who has contributed much to the taxonomy of this genus.
FIGURES 234–239.
Thorelliola squamosa
sp. nov.
234–235 female holotype; 236 female paratype, dorsal view; 237 epigynum, ventral view; 238 cleared epigynum, dorsal view; 239 cleared epigynum, ventral view. Scale bars: 236, 0.5 mm; 237–239, 0.1 mm.

Diagnosis.
Differs from other described species (
Gardziṅska & Patoleta 1997
; Gardziṅska 2009) and
T. tualapa
by the vulva located posterior to the window (
Figs 232–233
). The absence of guanine deposits in the eye area can distinguish the species from
T. creba
,
T. zabkai
and
T. squamosa
(
Fig. 231
). Differs from
T. aliena
by the absence of bright stripes on the abdomen (
Figs 230–231
) and the epigynal shape (
Figs 232–233
).
