In honor of arachnologist, Dr. Sylvia Marlene Lucas, from the Instituto Butantan, for her many contributions to the study of Mygalomorphae. Diagnosis . Males of Siremata lucasae n. sp. resemble those of S . valteri n. sp. in the elongated palpal bulb ( Fig. 44C ), but differ in the absence of a medial ventral megaspine on tibia I and the large number and length of the retrolateral spines on the palpal tibia ( Fig. 44E ). Females are more similar to those of S. valteri n. sp. as they have spermathecae with long ducts; but differ in the presence of a dense glandular region ( Fig. 44B–D ). Description . Male (IBSP 13819). Legs II, III and IV of female ( paratype IBSP 167 214) are lost, as the specimen damaged.Color: Carapace in dorsal and ventral views and legs orange, abdomen in dorsal view brown, in ventral view whitish.
