Ramírez , Niarchos Exped. ), deposited in QCAZ (PBI_OON 30563) . ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from Vlad the Impaler, referring to the paired extensions on the clypeus. DIAGNOSIS: Male can easily be recognized by the paired extensions on the clypeus (figs. 544, 545), the strongly excavated and spined chelicerae (fig. 545), and the massive embolus (figs. 548–551); females have a distinctively long genitalic atrium and large, triangular anterior receptaculum (figs. 556, 557). The posterior femora are basally lightened in color. Figs. 544–557. Paradysderina vlad , new species , male (544–551) and female (552–557). 544. Carapace, dorsal view. 545, 552.

Leg spination: femur I p0-0-1; tibiae I, II v4-3-0; metatarsi: I v2-2- 1p, II v2-2-0. Palps symmetrical; embolus with both flanges massive, intricately bent.
