Etymology. “ Abará ” is a typical meal of the Bahia culinary tradition and also plays a role in the religious ritual of Candomblé. It is made with a special type of bean (fradinho) and served with pepper, dried shrimp, “ Vatapá ”, “ Caruru ” or salad. It is similar to “ Acarajé ”, but baked instead of fried.

Diagnosis. Males of Celaetycheus abara sp. nov. ( Figs 5A–B View FIGURE 5. A – D ) resemble those of C. flavostriatus ( Figs 1A–B View FIGURE 1. A – D ) by the shape of the embolus, but can be distinguished by the thin embolus and truncated retrolateral cymbial projection. Females of Celaetycheus abara sp. nov. resemble those of C. flavostriatus ( Fig. 11C View FIGURE 11. A – D ) by the elongate median sector and the presence of lateral lobes in the lateral sectors of the epigynum, but can be distinguished by the smaller head of spermathecae ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5. A – D ).
