Diagnosis. Males of Otiothops chicaque sp. n. resemble those of species in the amazonicus group by the morphology of the embolus ( Figs 8–11 View FIGURES 6–13 ; see also Platnick 1975, figs 51–52), but can be distinguished by the embolus originating close to the middle of the bulb ( Figs 9–11 View FIGURES 6–13 ). Females can be distinguished from other species by the shape of the median receptacles, which are 5.0 x longer than wide, contiguous, with proximal poreplates ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 6–13 ).
Etymology. The specific epithet is a noun in apposition referring to the type locality, Chicaque, San Antonio de Tequendama, Cundinamarca, Colombia.
