Type-material. ♂ holotype from Mata do Oiteiro , Ipojuca [08°24'00''S; 35°03'45''W], Ceará, Brazil, XII.2007 ‒ II.2008, A. Costa leg., deposited in IBSP 133641 ). GoogleMaps

Diagnosis. Ariadna ipojuca n. sp. is similar to A. boliviana , A. isthmica and A. gaucha n. sp. due to the morphology of the male palp ( Figs 37A‒B View FIGURE 37 , 44A‒B View FIGURE44 , 58G‒H View FIGURE 58 , 61A‒B View FIGURE 61 ) and metatarsi IV ( Figs 36F View FIGURE 36 , 43F View FIGURE 43 , 58F View FIGURE 58 , 60F View FIGURE 60 ) but differ by the presence of palps with a longer mid-portion and embolus, with a smooth curvature ( Fig. 58G‒H View FIGURE 58 ), and metatarsi I with a series of ventro-prolateral macrosetae that decrease in size ( Fig. 58C‒E View FIGURE 58 ).

Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality, Ipojuca, Ceará, Brazil.

Description. Male (Holotype). Carapace and chelicerae brownish orange ( Fig. 58A View FIGURE 58 ). Endites orange; labium dark orange. Sternum orange with darker margins, and three pairs of fainted dark marginal areas ( Fig. 58B View FIGURE 58 ). Palps light orange ( Fig. 58G‒H View FIGURE 58 ). Legs light brownish orange, pairs I‒II darker, with fainted dark diffuse rings in the distal region of the tibia, metatarsi and tarsi ( Fig. 58C‒E View FIGURE 58 ). Abdomen grey, lighter ventrally ( Fig. 58A‒B View FIGURE 58 ). Total length 5.84; carapace 2.88 long, 1.84 wide. Palps: tibia incrassated, with the dorso-ventral diameter almost one and a half times longer than the bulb; bulb sub-rectangular, mid-portion slightly longer than the embolus and with a smooth curvature forwards; embolus with a tubular tip ( Fig. 58G‒H View FIGURE 58 ). Legs: robust and coated with setae ( Fig. 58C‒F View FIGURE 58 ); metatarsi IV sinuous, in lateral view ( Fig 58F View FIGURE 58 ); tarsal brush of putative chemosensory setae present in tarsi I‒IV, extending to the median region of the metatarsi IV ( Fig. 58F View FIGURE 58 ), but reduced in leg I.
