Etymology.
This epithet derives from the Latin adjective “
ceratinus
”, meaning “horned” and refers to the horn-like prolateral tibial apophysis in the male palp.
Diagnosis.
The new species resembles
Oia sororia
Wunderlich, 1973
(
Figs 239A–D
,
240A–D
,
241A–C
;
Wunderlich, 1973
, figs 36, 37), but can be distinguished by dorsal tibial apophysis relatively narrower in
O. ceratinum
sp. nov.
(
Figs 239A, B
,
240A
), whereas broader in
O. sororia
sp. nov.
(
Wunderlich, 1973
, figs 36, 37). Distal suprategular apophysis leaf-shaped in retrolateral view in
O. ceratinum
sp. nov.
(
Figs 239B
,
240B
), whereas tongue-shaped in
O. sororia
sp. nov.
(
Wunderlich, 1973
, figs 36, 37). Copulatory ducts spirally coiled before entering the spermathecae in
O. ceratinum
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 241A–C
), whereas directly enter the spermathecae in
O. sororia
sp. nov.
(
Wunderlich, 1973
, fig. 42).
