Holotype . Bolivia : La Paz Department , Murillo (Mecapaca 16°39’51.5”S , 68°00’56.6”W ), III.1980 , 1M ( MCN 25528) . Paratype : La Paz Department , Murillo (Mecapaca 16°39’51.5”S , 68°00’56.6”W ), III.1980 , 1F ( MCN 25528) . Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality. Diagnosis. Males of Euryopis boliviensis n. sp. resemble those of Euryopis nasuta , but E. boliviensis n. sp. differs from E. nasuta in having the apical portion of the conductor with a thin hook-like projection ( Fig. 8C ), absent in E. nasuta , and by the absence of nose-like projection in the clypeus, present in the latter. Females of the E . boliviensis n. sp. resemble those of E. nasuta , but differ by having the second spermathecae further apart ( Figs 9E, F ), and closer to each other in the E. nasuta , and by a larger and more sclerotized copulatory opening ( Fig. 9E ) than in E. nasuta .
