Additional material examined. BRAZIL : Pernambuco : 6 males and 15 females , Araçoiaba , Campo de Instrução Marechal Newton Cavalcante , 2009–2010, A.A. Costa ( IBSP 160727 , 160729–160736 , 160738–160739 , UFPE ) ; 31 males and 14 females from Caruaru 2009–2010, H.P. Amorim ( IBSP 160523–160546 , UFPE ) . Etymology. The specific epithet is to be treated as an adjective and refers to the elongate cymbium of the male. Diagnosis. Males of this species can be distinguished from those of all the remaining known species by having a long cymbium in the palp ( Figs 16–17 ). Females can be distinguished from those of the remaining species by having a pair of small spermathecae, with the diameter not wider than twice that of the copulation ducts ( Figs 18– 19 ).
