Etymology.
The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of the
U.S.
arachnologist Charles Griswold, in recognition of his fundamental contributions to spider systematics, including works on the migid fauna.
Diagnosis.
Females of
Goloboffia griswoldi
sp. nov.
differ from females of the other known species by the narrower ocular quadrangle occupying less than half of the width carapace (about 0.45 of width) (
Figs 1
,
4
) in combination with the spermathecae having ducts as long as spermathecal head width, and lobes rounded and pointing outwards (
Fig. 9
).
Description.
Female
holotype
(MACN-Ar 36129). Coloration (in alcohol): Carapace, legs and chelicerae reddish brown (
Figs 1, 3
), abdomen grayish. Total length 13.26; carapace 5.15 long, 4.57 wide. Fovea deep, straight with recurved ends, 1.04 wide. Ocular group 1.89 wide, occupying 0.44 of cephalic width (

).
