HEMIRRHAGUS EMBOLULATUS View in CoL SP. NOV.
( FIGS 2A, B, J View Figure 2 , 36A–I View Figure 36 , 37A–E View Figure 37 , 38A–G View Figure 38 , 48 View Figure 48 )
Type material: Holotype ♂ CNAN-T0774 and paratype ♀ CNAN-T0775 , MEXICO: Guerrero, Mpio. Chilpancingo de los Bravo, Parque Nacional Omiltemi, Omiltemi , 03.xii.2009, col. E. Goyer and E. Hijmensen.
Diagnosis: The following character combination is diagnostic for H. embolulatus sp. nov. Male palpal bulb with wide embolus throughout its length, similar in length to tegulum, with well-developed PS, PI, and R keels ( Fig. 37E View Figure 37 ); SA retrolaterally extended, ends at embolus retrolateral face ( Fig. 37B, D View Figure 37 ); VG shallow and embolus strongly curved retrolaterally on distal half ( Fig. 37A–C View Figure 37 ). Metatarsus I straight ( Fig. 36G View Figure 36 ). Prolateral tibial apophysis weakly developed ( Fig. 36I View Figure 36 ). Ocular tubercle and eyes normally developed, periocular pigmentation complete ( Figs 36D View Figure 36 , 38C View Figure 38 ). Urticating setae arranged in one dorsomedian patch, yellowish-orange in colour, with well-defined margins, anterior and posterior margins slightly notched medially ( Fig. 36C View Figure 36 ). Female metatarsus IV with ten spinose setae distally ( Fig. 38F View Figure 38 ). Spermathecae paired, separated at their base, with rounded receptacles wider than long ( Fig. 38G View Figure 38 ). Hemirrhagus embolulatus sp. nov. differs from all other Hemirrhagus species by the embolus having well-developed PS, PI, and R keels. It also differs in the spermathecae having rounded receptacles wider than long.
Etymology: The specific name is composed of the Latin words embolus, referring to the male embolus and latus, wide. The name makes reference to the wide embolus of this species.
