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
).
