Figs 20 , 21 , 22 Type material. Holotype ♂: Colombia, Choco , Bahia Solano, Jardin Botanico del Pacifico , 6.38, -77.40, elevation 124 m a.s.l., 10-25 February 2022, M. Echeverri, S. Gomez Torres and C. Perafan leg. (ICN 12364). Etymology. The specific epithet Euthycaelus cunampia is a patronym in honor of the family name of Don Jose and Don Antonio, members of the Embera indigenous community, from Mecana, Choco . Mr. Jose and Mr. Antonio abandoned their hunting traditions for their community to become touristic and academic guides for the JBP. We want to pay tribute to their community and to the JBP with this recognition. Diagnosis. Males of Euthycaelus cunampia sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other Euthycaelus species by the following combination of morphological features: the shape of the palpal bulb (Fig. 22A-E ), with subtegulum widely separated from tegulum, embolus elongated, broadened medially, and tip dorsoventrally flattened, with numerous prolateral keels near the apex and without denticles. Copulatory bulb of E. cunampia sp. nov. resembles males of E. quinteroi Gabriel & Sherwood, 2022, but differs by the wider embolus (Fig. 22C-E ) with a curved inner edge (straight in E. quinteroi ), and additionally by a higher number of maxillary cuspules (ca. 200 vs. 150) and labial cuspules (ca. 300 vs. 200). Additionally, males and females (alive) with carapace and legs black covered by light brown setae, and tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi covered with very light setae (Fig. 20 ). Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Figs 1 , 2 ). Description. Male holotype (Figs 20 - 22 ). Total length: 20.78. Chelicerae basal segment: length 2.63, width 1.73.

Sigillae: proximal pair circular, distal pairs oval; proximal pairs separated by its diameter from the edge, posterior pair separated by more than its diameter. Legs pattern: IV>I>II>III. Lengths of legs and palpal segments on Table 5 . Tarsal claws: STC with row of small teeth, ITC absent on all legs.

Metatarsus I: straight, otherwise unmodified, when flexes it passes on the retrolateral side of the RB. Coloration . Living spider: carapace black, covered by brown setae; palp and legs black, femora and patellae darker; tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi covered by very light setae; abdomen brown (Fig. 20 ). Female. Unknown. Remarks. Euthycaelus cunampia sp. nov. represents the first published record of the genus and subfamily Schismatothelinae outside the Andean Region and the Eastern Cordillera for Colombia. This species constitutes the northernmost and westernmost record of the genus and subfamily for the country. Previously, the genus had a characteristic cis-Andean distribution over the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia and the Cordillera de Merida in Venezuela ( Valencia-Cuellar et al. 2019 ). The geographic range of the genus Euthycaelus was recently extended with the publication of E. quinteroi from Panama, which is distributed in the same biogeographical region as E. cunampia sp. nov., in the Darien Gap, Choco Biogeographical Region. This record extended the distribution of the genus to Central America. These latest records disrupt the distribution of the Euthycaelus , now being interpreted as a disjunct distribution, offering new evidence of historical connections between the Pacific humid forests and the Andean forests of the Eastern Cordillera.
