Diagnosis

(amended from Bertani and Fukushima 2009). Females differ from those of Ybyrapora sooretama comb. n. and Ybyrapora gamba comb. n. by presenting very long, strongly curved outwards spermathecae with its distal portion almost reaching the spermathecae base (Fig. 259). Males differ from those of Ybyrapora gamba sp. comb. n. and Ybyrapora sooretama comb. n. by having embolus more than four times tegulum’s length, with strong curvature in frontal view (Fig. 278) and cymbium with well-developed process bearing thick setae on retrolateral lobe (Fig. 280).

Complementary description.

Male: Palp (Figs 276-279): globous bulb with small subtegulum, lacking prominence on tegulum. Embolus: not flattened, lacking keels, 7.76 long in retrolateral view, about 7 times tegulum’s length. Medial portion and tegulum’s margin form very acute angle in retrolateral view. Proximal part very curved in frontal view; thin distal width, tapering distally; basal, middle, and distal width of 1.05, 0.35, 0.08 respectively. Tegulum: 1.89 long, 1.08 high. (Fig. 319). Cymbium subtriangular with subequal lobes, with a well-developed rounded process on retrolateral lobe, bearing thick setae (Fig. 280).

Tibia I with discrete elevation covered by a cluster of setae in apical portion, on prolateral side (Figs 281-283).

Type II urticating setae: 0.791-0.860 long; 0.017-0.020 wide in male; 0.427-0.520 long; 0.012-0.016 wide in female.

Female: Spermathecae (Fig. 259): two completely separated, not-twisted very long spermathecae, with walls lacking lobes and accentuated outwards curvature medially. Spermatheca midwidth as wide as its base width, virtually non-sclerotized.
