Diagnosis.
Females of
Tenedos capote
Jocqué & Baert, 2002
, are similar those of
T. barronus
Jocqué & Baert, 2002
,
T. hoeferi
Jocqué & Baert, 2002
, and
T. quadrangulatus
Jocqué & Baert, 2002
, by having long, wide seminal receptacles (SR) curved towards median septum of Epigyne (see
Jocqué & Baert, 2002: 87
, 100, 116, figs 10C–D, 18D–E, 33A–B; figs 12E–F; 13C–D; 27C–F), but can be distinguished by their wider seminal receptacles; knobshaped median field plate (MFP), wider than long, rounded in posterior border; wider than long atrium (A) almost as wide as anterior portion of median field plate; inverted V-shaped anterior border; larger spermathecae (S) (
Fig. 27C–F
).
Redescription.
Female
(
Holotype
, MCZ 54649).
Coloration
(
Fig. 27A–B
): carapace uniformly orange, two elongated yellow spots in front fovea, light brown thoraric grooves.
Chelicerae
with the paturon brown and brownreddish fangs.
Endites
brown, yellow on anterior side.
Labium
and sternum light brown.
Legs
: coxae I–IV light brown.
Femora I
–IV white on base, turning brown towards distal side.
Patellae-tarsi I
–IV light brown.
Abdomen
: dorsally dark gray with five white guanine spots organized as follows: two rounded spots very close to each other, anteriorly positioned; two longitudinal spots larger than previous ones, anteromedially positioned; two rounded spots with an anterior notch, medially positioned; a large and irregular spot, posteriorly positioned.
Laterally
dark gray without spots.
Ventrally
light brown with two longitudinal and thin stripes, laterally positioned.
Spinnerets
