Costa leg., deposited in MNRJ 1963 , examined). Glenognatha lacteovittata : Ramírez, 1996 : 35 , figs. 1–10; Cabra-García et al . 2014 : 1029 , figs. 1M, 3C, 8D, 9K–L; World Spider Catalog 2015 . Diagnosis. Males of G. lacteovittata resemble those of G. boraceia and G . florezi by the short distal portion of the paracymbium ( Figs. 22H , 23H ) and the embolic medial groove limited to the inner surface of the embolus ( Fig. 23O ). It can be distinguished from the two latter species by the presence of filiform projections in the embolus distal region ( Figs. 23G, N ). Females are diagnosed by the presence of two posterior cheliceral bulges ( Fig. 20E , 21E–F ). Description. Male and female described by Ramírez (1996) . Additional data. Male (IBSP 44111) . Habitus as in Figures 19A–D . Carapace brown, with three longitudinal dusky bands (one median and two lateral). Sternum brown, darker on sides. Abdomen spherical, dorsally with irregular pattern of two longitudinal black bands on sides. Black patches scattered around and between these bands. Silver guanine spots concentrated on the median regions of the dorsal and lateral surface. Venter with a pale black median band that ramifies into irregular thin bands towards the lateral surface.
