leg. (

).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition and refers to embolic disc, boomerang-shaped (
Figs 7C
,
8A
).
Diagnosis.
A. boomerang
sp. nov.
differs from all
Amphidraus
species by having the embolic disc boomerangshaped, due its expanded retrolateral border (
Figs 7C
,
8A
). The retrolateral triangular lamella on the embolus shaft of
A. boomerang
sp. nov.
is also present in
A. argentinensis
Galiano, 1997
, near the emergence point of the embolic filament (see
Galiano 1997
: figs 9–10).
A. boomerang
sp. nov.
can be distinguished from
A. argentinensis
by shape of the RvTA, large and with a ventral lobe in
A. argentinensis
(
Galiano 1997: fig. 11
) and reduced in
A. boomerang
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 8B
).

FIGURE 5.
Amphidraus cornipalpis
sp. nov.
A–E left male palp (A ventral; B retrolateral; C prolateral; D cleared bulb, ventral; E dorsal); F epigyne/vulva, cleared, ventral. Abbreviations: cd, copulatory duct; co, copulatory opening; Cy, cymbium; dPED, distal process on embolic disc; e, embolus shaft; ed, embolic disc; ef, embolic filament; fd, fertilization duct; ITA, intercalary tibial apophysis; RTA, retrolateral tibial apophysis; RvTA, retroventral tibial apophysis; S, spermatheca; T, tegulum; TL, tegular lobe. Large black arrows in A, B, E show cymbial tubercle, and small black arrows in F show sperm path from copulatory opening to spermatheca.
Description. Male
holotype
(MPEG 9881).
Total length: 3.08. Carapace 1.62 long, 1.07 wide and 0.85 high. Ocular quadrangle 0.83 long. Anterior eye row 1.17 wide, posterior 0.98 wide. Legs 4312. Length of leg: I 2.65 (0.82 + 1.01 + 0.82); II 2.49 (0.80 + 0.91 + 0.78); III 3.15 (0.99 + 1.05 + 1.11); IV 3.47 (1.02 + 1.21 + 1.24). Palp (
Figs 7
C–F, 8A–D): femur and patella with no modifications; short RvTA with two apical teeth (
Figs 7D
,
8B
); straight RTA with the same length of tibia and with membranous external border (
Figs 7D, 7F
,
8B, 8D
); cymbium oval, with proximal dorso-prolateral portion prominent (
Figs 7F
,
8D
); tegulum with thick and straight lobe (
Figs 7C
,
8A
); embolic disc with a process with acute tip (dPED) placed on the median distal portion and projected to prolateral side, with a ventral process (vPED) ventrally projected and with a proximal process (pPED) projected to proximal side, hidden under the tegulum (
Figs 7
C–E, 8A, 8C); embolus shaft (e) with tip curved to retrolateral side and with two processes: a triangular lamella placed at the middle of retrolateral border and a rounded basal process (
Figs 7C
,
8A
); embolic filament (ef) approximately 1/2 the length of embolus shaft (
Figs 7C
,
8A
). Color in alcohol (
Figs 7
A–B): cephalic area black; thoracic area brown with light brown longitudinal stripe; abdomen dorsally variegated with light brown and with longitudinal stripe of white setae; ventrally pale; pale legs.
