The species name is derived from the type locality; noun in apposition. Diagnosis . Easily distinguished from other Ninetinae by modification of male clypeus ( Figs 132–133 ; pointed median process), by shape of male palpal femur ( Fig. 131 ; strongly widened on ventral side), by complex structures distally on procursus ( Figs 130–131 ; distinctive black process dorsally, distal part with black scales), by distinctive sclerotized and membranous structures distally on genital bulb process ( Figs 130–131 ), and by large median dark structure in internal female genitalia ( Figs 129 , 134 ). FIGURES 123–129. Pinocchio barauna sp. n. (male: UFMG 22730; female: ZFMK, Ar 20622). 123–124. Live male (holotype). 125–126. Male (holotype), dorsal and lateral views. 127. Epigynum, ventral view. 128–129. Cleared female genitalia, ventral and dorsal views. Scale lines: 0.5 (125–126), 0.2 (127–129). Description. Male ( holotype ). MEASUREMENTS. Total length 1.07 (1.17 with clypeus process), carapace width 0.48. Distance PME-PME 40 µm; diameter PME 50 µm; distance PME-ALE 15 µm; distance AME-AME 10 µm, diameter AME 20 µm. Leg 1: 2.08 (0.60 + 0.17 + 0.57 + 0.47 + 0.27), tibia 2: 0.47, tibia 3: 0.40, tibia 4: 0.63; tibia 1 L/d: 7.5. COLOR (in ethanol). Prosoma and legs ochre-yellow. Abdomen monochromous ochre-gray. BODY. Habitus as in Figs 123–126 . Ocular area barely elevated; thoracic furrow absent; clypeus with distinctive median process bent upwards at tip ( Figs 132–133 ). Sternum slightly wider than long (0.34/0.30), with distinct pair of anterior humps ( Fig. 132 ). FIGURES 130–131. Pinocchio barauna sp. n. (UFMG 22730). Left male palp, prolateral and retrolateral views. gb, genital bulb; pr, procursus. Scale line: 0.3. CHELICERAE. With pair of simple frontal apophyses and very indistinct stridulatory ridges (barely visible in dissecting microscope; Figs 132–133 ). PALPS. As in Figs 130–131 ; coxa unmodified, trochanter barely modified; femur proximally with stridulatory scape (modified hair), distally strongly widened on ventral side; tibia almost globular, procursus with distinctive black process dorsally, distal part with many tines (or scales); bulb with complex process, opening of sperm duct not seen. Legs. Without spines and curved hairs, few vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 60%; tibia 1 without prolateral trichobothrium (present on other tibiae); tarsus 1 with few pseudosegments (~4, poorly visible in dissecting microscope). Female . In general similar to male but without humps on sternum and without process on clypeus; chelicerae without stridulatory ridges (checked in SEM). Tibia 1 in 11 females : 0.46–0.53 (mean 0.49). Epigynum simple externally ( Fig. 127 ), semicircular anterior plate and more weakly sclerotized posterior plate. Internal genitalia with distinctive dark median structure (receptacle?), apparently without pore plates ( Figs 129 , 134 ). ALS with one widened, one pointed, and apparently 5–6 cylindrically shaped spigots ( Fig. 322 ). Distribution . Known from type locality only ( Fig. 345 ). Natural history . This species was found in the twilight zone of a cave ( Fig. 338 ), under rocks and small stones on the ground. The cave is located in a semiarid Caatinga area.
