Figs 12‒20 Types . Holotype : Ƌ from Rio Acapu , Floresta Estadual do Trombetas , Oriximiná , Pará , Brazil , 01°07'43.04"S , 56°19'53.90"W , 10–18.X.2014 , leg. M.B. Aguiar-Neto et al . ( MPEG 32011 ) . Paratypes : 1 Ƌ ( INPA ) and 2 ♀ ( INPA , MPEG 32012 ), same data as holotype. Additional material examined. BRAZIL : Pará : Oriximiná , Floresta Estadual do Trombetas , Rio Acapu (along about 25 km on the North margin, between 01°06'10.10"S , 56°26'04.00"W and 01°07'30.50"S , 56°19'05.50"W ): 91 Ƌ, 46 ♀ , 10–18.X.2014 , leg. M.B. Aguiar-Neto et al . ( MPEG 31978–32008 ). Etymology. The epithet is to be treated as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin latus (broad) and clavus (nail), referring to the shape of the RTA. Diagnosis. The male is similar to that of S. muiratinga Ruiz, 2013 by having a similar broad RTA pointing ventrally ( Fig. 17 ; compare to Ruiz 2013 : fig. 31). The embolus is thinner and aligned to the axis of the palp in S. laticlavus sp. nov. ( Fig. 16 ), while it is thicker and oblique in S. muiratinga ( Ruiz 2013: fig. 29 ). The female is similar to those of S. micaceus Zhang & Maddison, 2012 and S. paxiuba Ruiz, 2013 for having a wide coupling pocket near the copulatory openings ( Fig. 18 ), but can be distinguished from that of S. paxiuba by the smaller spermatheca and from that of S. micaceus by the shorter copulatory duct ( Figs 19‒20 ). FIGURES 12–15. Soesilarishius laticlavus sp. nov. 12–13 male (12 dorsal, 13 ventral); 14–15 female (14 dorsal, 15 ventral). Description. Male holotype (MPEG 32011). Total length: 2.47.
