Figs 1–11 Type material. Male holotype ( MPEG 21149) and female paratype ( MPEG 21148) from Parque Nacional da Serra do Pardo, São Félix do Xingu, Pará, Brazil ( 5.877806°S , 52.795389°W ), 26.IV.2012 , G.R.S. Ruiz et al. FIGURES 1–2. Kalcerrytus amplexus sp. nov. 1 male holotype (MPEG 21149), dorsal; 2 female paratype (MPEG 21148), dorsal. Etymology. The epithet is a Latin noun meaning “hug” and refers to the shape of the RTA, which resembles an open arm. Diagnosis. The males of Kalcerrytus amplexus sp. nov. differ from all others by having the tip of RTA with two branches ( Figs 4–5 , 8 ). The females are similar to those of K. merreti by the posteriorly projected border of the epigynal plate, but can be distinguished by having the terminal portion of the spermathecae fused over a sclerotized internal plate (apparently also present in K. odontophorus Ruiz & Brescovit, 2003 , though small), from which the fertilization ducts emerge ( Fig. 10 ), while in K. merreti the spermathecae are completely separated (see Galiano 2000 : figs 58–59).
