Etymology.
The epithet is a noun in apposition that honors
Chíe
, the goddess of moon (also known as Chía) in the Muisca mythology, indigenous people that inhabited the region where the species was found, in the central Andean highlands of the present-day Colombia's Eastern Range.
Diagnosis.
Males of
A. chie
sp. nov.
can be easily distinguished from those of the remaining species of the genus by their smaller body size and darker coloration, the double-pointed RTA (
Figs 2a–b
,
20c–d
). Females of
A. chie
sp. nov.
are similar to those of
A. bochica
sp. nov.
and
A. sikuani
sp. nov.
by the short copulatory ducts, but can be distinguished from those by the fact that the copulatory ducts connect proximally to the spermathecae, and posterior concave border of the epigynal plate (
Figs 2c–d
,
24b, 24h
).
Description. Male (
holotype
).
Total length: 1.81. Carapace black, 1.06 long, 0.78 wide, 0.57 high (
Fig. 16c
). OC black, 0.54 long. Anterior eye row 0.85 wide and posterior 0.77 wide. Sternum black, 0.46 long, 0.34 wide. Labium black, 0.09 long, 0.17 wide. Chelicerae black with four retromarginal and two promarginal teeth. Palp black and extremely small, with a long and bifurcated-tipped RTA, and long and rounded tegular lobe (TL), rounded embolic disc (ED), and a short embolus with basal widening (bwe) (

). Epigyne (
Figs 2c–d

Comments.
The
type
material was collected in Winkler traps, in a secondary Andean forest, at the same locality where the
type
specimens of
A. sua
sp. nov.
were collected, so here they are considered to be sympatric. It is interesting to point out that this species was collected in the same sample with numerous specimens of an undescribed species of the genus
Tenedos
O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897
(
Zodariidae
: Stonerinae), which presented a similar pattern of coloration.
Distribution.
Colombia
(
Boyacá
) (

). Known altitudinal distribution:
1126–1152 m
