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
.
