Diagnosis
Species of
Umbuquyra caxiuana
gen. et sp. nov.
are distinguished from those of the other species by the large and procurve fovea (
Fig. 5C
), male palpal bulb with a shortened and compact tegulum, a superior keel very evident being parallel to prolateral accessory keels (
Fig. 28B
). The female can be distinguished by a spermathecae with globular SR, close to each other emerging from a common base forming a V shape (
Fig. 27D
).
Etymology
The species epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
