Etymology.
The species epithet is a noun in apposition referring to the ceremonies of the Taíno, the principal ethnic group of Hispaniola prior to the arrival of the colonizers.
Diagnosis.
Male
Peckhamia areito
sp. nov.
can be distinguished from other species by the embolus with the pdR longer than the rR (
Fig. 5
); and the mesal margin of the male chelicerae which is straight: concave in
P. espositoae
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 10
) and
P. wesolowskae
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 29
). Female
P. areito
sp. nov.
can be distinguished by having the SS longer than wide (
Fig. 7
), while the SS is as long as wide in
P. espositoae
sp. nov.
(
Figs 14
) and
P. formosa
comb. nov.
(
Figs 51
); the PS with an ectal distal loop, while lacking an ectal distal loop in
P. surcaribensis
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 26
) and
P. wesolowskae
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 33
); and by having PS as wide as CD, while PS is thinner than CD in
P. magna
comb. nov.
(
Fig. 53
).
