Figures 529–539 View Figs
Dysderina principalis View in CoL (misidentification): Simon, 1891: 557, 1893b: 441 (in part, one female from Venezuela only).
Prodysderina spinigera (misidentification): Dumitrescu and Georgescu, 1987: 98, pl. 5, figs. 1–5.
TYPES: Male holotype and male paratype from cloud forest litter taken at an elevation of 1550 m on the road to Pico Guacamaya in the Estacio´ n Biolo´ gica Rancho Grande , Parque Nacional Henri Pittier , 10 ° 21'37"N, 67 ° 40'25"W, Aragua, Venezuela (May 14, 1998; R. Anderson), deposited in AMNH ( PBI_OON 911 ) GoogleMaps .
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Margareta Dumitrescu, who was the first to describe this species.
DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be recognized by the invaginated tip of the cymbium (figs. 534, 537), females by the distinctive shape of the postepigastric scutum (fig. 530, 531).
MALE (PBI_OON 916, figs. 529, 532– 537): Total length 2.00. ALE separated by their radius to diameter. Sternum surface coarsely reticulate, microsculpture everywhere but front. Endites with anterior process short, wide, directed anteromedially. Dorsal scutum covering full length of abdomen, no soft tissue visible from above, not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum long, almost rectangular, extending to nearly full length of abdomen. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r1-1-1; II p0-0- 2, r1-1-0; tibiae: I v4-4-1p; II v4-4-0; metatarsi: I v2-1p-2; II v2-0-2. Sperm pore small, narrow, slitlike. Cymbium without distal patch of setae. Embolus compact, triangular, on narrow base.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 916, figs. 530, 531, 538, 539): Total length 2.20. Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, covering about 1/3 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r1-1-2; II p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-1p-2; II v3-0-2. Anterior genitalic process relatively wide, with bifid anterior expansion.
