Males of Celaetycheus aberem sp. nov. ( Figs 6A–B ) resemble those of C. mungunza sp. nov. ( Figs 12A–B ) by the large embolus, absence of a tegular projection and a median apophysis curved prolaterally at tip, but can be distinguished by the larger median apophysis ( Fig. 6A ). Females of C. aberem sp. nov. ( Figs 6C–D ) can be distinguished from the remaining species of the genus by the subquadrangular shape of the median sector of the epigynum ( Fig. 6C ). Description. Male ( holotype IBSP 163514). Total length 3.45. Carapace 1.85 long, 1.65 wide. Eye diameters: AME 0.10, ALE 0.08, PME 0.16, PLE 0.16. Leg measurements: I: femur 1.9/ patella 0.7/ tibia 1.7/ metatarsus 1.8/ tarsus 0.7/ total 6.8; II: 1.7/ 0.7/ 1.5/ 1.65/ 0.7/ 6.25; III: 1.7/ 0.7/ 1.35/ 1.7/ 0.7/ 6.15; IV: 2.1/ 0.65/ 1.7/ 2.3/ 0.9/ 7.65.

Palpal femur with short spines close to the proximal area; coxa and trochanter of leg II with short and thick spines ( Fig. 14 B). Palp ( Figs 6A–B ): straight tibia, with almost the same size of the cymbium; retrolateral tibial apophysis short and coniform; ventral tibial apophysis short; cymbial retrolateral projection subtriangular; laminar embolus with large base; median apophysis with a prolateral hook and large base; additional tegular projection absent. Female ( paratype IBSP 163515). Total length 4.7. Carapace 2.1 long, 1.8 wide. Eyes diameters: AME 0.12, ALE 0.10, PME 0.17, PLE 0.17.

Epigynum ( Figs 6C–D ): median sector shorter than the lateral sector; lateral lobes absent in the lateral sectors; head of spermathecae short and base of spermathecae with a well demarked constriction; fertilization ducts thin. Distribution. Mascote, Pau Brasil , Jussari and Camacan, State of Bahia, northeast Brazil ( Fig. 15 C).
