Etymology. The specific epithet honors the Minuano ethnic group. The indigenous name is a reference to a wind of polar origin (Atlantic polar air mass) with a southwest orientation that blows in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, where this species is widespread. Noun in apposition.

Diagnosis. Males of G. minuano can be recognized by the squared lower edge of RvTA (See arrow in the Figs 5 View FIGURES 1–8 , 21 View FIGURES 21–26 ). Females of G. minuano can be recognized by the presence of a chitinized plate dorsally on the epigyne, covering half of the copulatory ducts (= genus diagnosis; see arrow in the Figs 14 View FIGURES 9–14 , 24 View FIGURES 21–26 ), spermathecae positioned anterior to the atrium region ( Figs 13 View FIGURES 9–14 , 23, 24 View FIGURES 21–26 ) and the pair of large LPO, arranged in parallel on the posterior border of epigyne ( Figs 14 View FIGURES 9–14 , 24 View FIGURES 21–26 ).

Distribution. Southern Brazil [São Paulo, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul], Uruguay [Montevideo, Florida, Río Negro, Lavalleja, Cerro Largo], and Argentina [Buenos Aires] ( Figs 77–78 View FIGURES 77–78 ).

Natural history. Some specimens were collected with a beating tray and/or G-Vac and can be considered of arboreal and shrub niche. Some were collected manually, found in Eucalyptus sp. plantations and edges of Riparian Forests. Some juveniles were found foraging, hanging by a thread of silk at night in branches of trees and shrubs in riparian forests. In addition, the altitudinal occurrence of this species is 4–1000 m. a. s. l. ( Figs 77 – 78 View FIGURES 77–78 ).
