Males of  Masteria spinosaresemble those of  Masteria simla,  M. sabrinae  n. sp.and  M. galipote  n. sp.in having a paraembolic apophysis, but differ in the elongated palpal bulb, with flattened paraembolic apophysis having a row of microspines on internal face ( Fig. 25A–C). Females resemble those of those of  M. simlaand  M. galipote  n. sp.in the bilobed spermathecae with high ectal lobe and short ental lobe, but differ from  M. simlain the ectal lobe with thick ducts on a large glandular region and from  M. galipote  n. sp.in the contiguous lobes of the spermathecae ( Fig. 25F).   Description.Male (  Panama, Barro Colorado, MCZ).
