Figures 302–312

TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype taken in montane forest litter an elevation of 1600 m at Resina , 1 ° 55'N, 75 ° 42'W. Huila, Colombia (June 8, 1956; H. Sturm), deposited in MCZ (72941, PBI_OON 37003 ) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males have both the proximal and distal embolar prongs triangular, sharply pointed (figs. 308–310); females have a conspicuous, medially invaginated sclerite at the base of the anterior genitalic process (figs. 304, 312).

MALE (PBI_OON 37003, figs. 302, 305– 310): Total length 2.08. ALE separated by their radius to diameter. Sternum surface coarsely reticulate, microsculpture everywhere but front. Anterior part of endites with long, narrow, pointed projection. 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: femur I p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-1p-2; II v1p-1r-2. Sperm pore small, narrow, slitlike. Cymbium without distal patch of setae. Proximal prong of embolus with distinct subbasal projection.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 37003, figs. 303, 304, 311, 312): Total length 2.38. Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, extending to about 1/2 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-1p; metatarsi I, II v1p-2-2. Anterior genitalic process greatly expanded, angular distally, accompanied by wide basal sclerite with procurved anterior margin.
