Remarks.
The habitus appearance is similar between the two specimens (4a–b, 5a–b) However, there seems to be variation in the epigynum overall structure (
Figs 4
c–e, 5c–e), especially in the appearance of the epigynum in ventral view (
Figs 4c
,
5c
). The specimen from
Alto Paraguay
was found under a log and the specimen from
Departamento Central
was found inside a building and both were collected more than thirty years ago by John A. Kochalka.
