Abdomen, dorsal; B. Carapace, dorsal; C. Sternum, ventral; D. Cheliceral teeth, ventral; E. Rastellum, dorsal; F. Rastellum, ventral. Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition from the type locality name, Serra da Mesa. Diagnosis. Males of A. mesa resemble those of A. ipioca ( Fig. 88 A–C), A. itaqui ( Fig. 91 A–C), A. rufipes ( Fig. 72 A–C) and A. caxiuana ( Fig. 100 A–C) by the BTA placed medially on prolateral tegular surface ( Fig. 97 A ); they resemble those of A. nattereri ( Fig. 67 A–C), A. vilhena ( Fig. 75 A–C), A. harveyi ( Fig. 78 A–C) and A. caxiuana by the absence of an embolar serrated area. They resemble those of A. nattereri , A. rufipes , A. itaqui , A. utinga ( Fig. 103 A–C) and A. caxiuana by the welldeveloped and bordered PA and differ from those of all other species of the group nattereri by PA placed in a triangular area and by the hirsute legs and body.
