Etymology.
The specific name is a patronym in honour of arachnologist Williams Paredes, collector of the
types
.
Diagnosis.
Males of
E. paredesi
n. sp.
resemble those of
E. abiseo
by the embolar base fused to the tegulum (
Figs 1
, 3;
Bonaldo, 1994
: figs 35¯37), but differ by the longer, filiform embolus and by the RTA excavated (
Figs 1
, 2). They also resemble those of
E. madre
Bonaldo
by the wide, retrolaterally directed median prong of the MA (
Fig. 23
), but are readily recognized by the embolus not articulated, without processes.
