Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
Males of
Tenedos yurayaco
sp. n.
, can be distinguished by bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA), with thin and pointed anterior branch (aRTA), curved, long posterior branch (pRTA); median apophysis (MA) with concave anterior branch (aMA); very short posterior branch (pMA) (

Description.
Male
(
Holotype
, IAvH-I-44). Coloration (
Fig. 72A–B
): carapace uniformly brown-reddish, dark brown in margins. Chelicerae with paturon brown, fangs brown-reddish. Endites light brown, white on anterior region. Labium and sternum brown. Legs: Coxae I–IV light yellow. Femora I–IV light brown. Patellae I–IV light brown. Tibia I pale yellow, I–IV light brown. Metatarsi-tarsi light brown. Abdomen: dorsally dark gray with seven white guanine spots organized as follows: two small and rounded spots, anteriorly positioned; two lateral spots larger than previous one, anteromedially positioned; two small and rounded spots with an anterior notch, medially positioned; a wide and transversal band, posteriorly positioned. Laterally dark gray with a very wide spot, posteriorly positioned. Ventrally dark gray covered by a large light spot. Spinnerets light brown. Measurements: total length 5.89, carapace length 2.98, width 1.87, height 1.22. Clypeus height 0.62.

Abdomen length 2.61. Legs spines pattern as general pattern. Palp: retrolateral process of cymbium (RPC) long, wide, widening slightly towards base; tegulum (T) large, rounded, almost as long as wide, retrolateral excavation very accentuated; subtegulum (St) longer than wide; conductor (C) developed, wide with short; appendix (ApC) long, sharp; embolus (E) long, filiform towards apex; base of embolus (EB) with small projection, approximately two times as long as basal tegular membrane; basal tegular membrane (BTM) originated basally on tegulum, ending as very long appendix; spermatic ducts (SD) S-shaped with both folds full opened; ventral tibial apophysis (VTA) very small, tubular, strongly sclerotized; median apophysis (MA) large, bifid, anterior branch (aMA) squared with folded edges, posterior branch (pMA) very short; retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) with posterior branch (pRTA) longer than palpal tibia, ventrally projected (
