DIAGNOSIS:
T. kepleri
can be differentiated from other
Tolegnaro

by the following combination of characters: carapace side microsculpture finely reticulate (figs. 346, 361); male cheliceral paturon inner margin distal portion with long curved modified seta (figs. 348, 363); sternum with radial furrows between coxae I–II, II–III, III–IV, surface finely reticulate, microsculpture only in furrows (figs. 346, 362); leg spines absent (fig. 364).
DESCRIPTION:
Male:
Total length 1.8.
Cephalothorax:
Sternum anterior margin with interrupted transverse groove (
fig. 359
). Mouthparts: Paturon inner margin with recumbent, curved setae (figs. 348, 363).
Abdomen:
Postepigastric area setae plumose.
Legs:
Pale orange; tibia I unmodified. Male genital opening slightly protruded, epigastric scutum apodemes large, separated from the anterior book lung opening and not connected by a furrow. Posterior spiracles connected by a groove (
fig. 352
). Leg spines absent (fig. 364). Tarsi I to IV superior claw teeth not examined in detail. Trichobothria examined with SEM. Tarsal organ with two sensilla visible.
