ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition, referring to the Waorani people, the indigenous nation that live in the region inhabited by this species.

DIAGNOSIS:
N. waorani
males are very similar to those of
N. donaldi
in general palpal morphology, but differ in having the embolar tip gently curved, and the bulb slightly elongated (figs. 91B–D, 99D). Females are recognized by the short, cupshaped anterior receptacle with short anterolateral projections (fig. 99C). Both sexes also differ in lacking strong macrosetae on the femora I–II (figs. 91A, 92G).
DESCRIPTION: MALE (
holotype
, PBI_OON 15164). Total length 1.52.
Cephalothorax:
Carapace yellow-brown, ovoid in dorsal view, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view (fig. 93E), anteriorly narrowed to between 0.5 and 0.75 times its maximum width; lateral margin straight; nonmarginal pars cephalica setae dark, needlelike, in Ushaped row; nonmarginal pars thoracica setae dark, needlelike; marginal setae dark, needlelike. Clypeus setae dark, needlelike. Eyes (fig. 93C, E, F) all subequal, all eyes circular; posterior eye row straight from front; ALE separated by their radius to diameter, ALE-PLE separated by less than ALE radius, PME touching throughout most of their length, PLE-PME separated by less than PME radius. Sternum longer than wide, yellow, anterior margin unmodified, posterior margin not extending posteriorly of coxae IV; setae sparse, densest laterally. Mouthparts: chelicerae, endites, and labium pale orange; cheliceral setae light, evenly scattered. Labium anterior margin indented at middle; with six or more setae on anterior margin. Endites distally excavated, with a small, distal flattened projection (fig. 94A).
Abdomen:
Dorsum pale white. Book lung covers elliptical. Postepigastric scutum yellow. Spinneret scutum absent. Dorsum setae dark, needlelike. Colulus represented only by setae.
Legs:
Pale orange; femur IV thickened, much larger than femora I–III (fig. 90C), tibia IV specialized hairs on ventral apex present, strongly curved (fig. 95d), distally barbed specialized hairs also on tibia III (fig. 95C). Leg spination: leg I: tibiae v2-2-2- 2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2; leg II: tibiae v2-2-2-2- 2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2; leg III: femora d1, tibiae d1, v1-1ap, metatarsi p1-1, r1-1, v1- 2ap; leg IV: femora d1, tibiae dv1-1ap, metatarsi p1-1, r1-1, v1-2ap. Trichobothria not examined.
Genitalia
(figs. 91B–D, 94, B– D, 99D): Palp proximal segments yellow; femur normal size, two or more times as long as trochanter; cymbium yellow, ovoid in dorsal view, not fused with bulb; bulb white, 1 to 1.5 times as long as cymbium, slender, tapering apically, distal part conductor small, acute and flattened, with a dorsal subapical opening (fig. 94C); embolus dark, gently curved, with a widened tip (in dorsal view, fig. 94B, D).

FEMALE (
paratype
, PBI_OON 15164). Total length 1.76. As in male except as noted.
Cephalothorax:
Carapace broadly oval in dorsal view. Sternum precoxal triangles present; setae dark. Labium elongated hexagon. Palp spines absent.

Legs:
Patella plus tibia I nearly as long as carapace, ventrodistal part of tibiae III–IV with strongly curved, distally barbed specialized hairs (fig. 95E–F). Leg spination: leg I: tibiae v2-2- 2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2-2; leg II: tibiae v2-2- 2-2-2-0, metatarsi v2-2-2-2; leg III: femora d1, tibiae R1, v1-1ap, metatarsi p1-1, r1-1, v1-2ap; leg IV: femora d1, tibiae P1-1, R1-1, v1-1ap, metatarsi p1-1, r1-1, v1-2ap.
