Etymology
. The specific name honours Temistocles “Temi” Tejedor, who provided logistic support to the PANCODING team during the fieldwork in
Panama
in June
2007 and 2008
that led to the discovery of this species. His hospitality and friendship were essential for the successful bioinventoring of the spiders and water beetles of the Panamanian cloud forests; name in genitive case.
Diagnosis
. Males: embolus emerging mesally with well developed teeth at base and a smooth lamina at the end, conductor reduced, RTA relatively close to cymbium (
