Tupigea lisei View in CoL , new species Figures 6 View Figs , 50 View Figs , 83 View Figs , 135 View Figs , 171 View Figs , 1265–1271
TYPES: Male holotype, 73 11♀ paratypes from Ilha do Arvoredo , Santa Catarina, Brazil ; Oct. 15–16, 1993 (A. A. Lise), in MCP (4034) .
ETYMOLOGY: Named for the collector of the type material.
DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from congeners by the single pair of frontal apophyses on the male chelicerae (fig. 1268), the absence of ventral apophyses on the palpal femur, and the shapes of bulb (fig. 1267), procursus (fig. 1269), and epigynum (fig. 1270).
MALE (holotype): Total length 1.9, carapace width 0.7; leg 1: 17.9 (4.7+0.3+4.5 +7.3+1.1), tibia 2: 2.8, tibia 3: 2.0, tibia 4: 2.5; tibia 1 l/d: 67. Habitus and prosoma shape as in T. teresopolis (cf. figs. 1272– 1273); distance PME-ALE about 70% of PME diameter. Carapace ochre-yellow with darker brown median band; ocular area and clypeus slightly darker than carapace; sternum whitish, no marks. Chelicerae ochreyellow, with one pair of darker apophyses, and pair of low humps proximally (fig. 1268). Palps as in figs. 1265–1266; ochreyellow, without retrolateral coxal apophysis, femur without ventral apophysis; procursus distally bent inwards, with pair of distal black spines (fig. 1269; see also fig. 50); bulb distally with two pointed apophyses and transparent projection (fig. 1267; see also fig. 50). Tarsal organ exposed (cf. female: fig. 83). Legs ochre-yellow, patellae and distal tips of tibiae brown; legs without spines and curved hairs, all tibiae with many vertical hairs (not only proximally as in some congeners); retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 7%; tarsus 1 with ~ 20 pseudosegments. Opisthosoma shape as in T. teresopolis (cf. fig. 1272), pale grayish, with large, indistinct darker spots dorsally. Gonopore without epiandrous spigots (fig. 135); ALS with only one piriform gland spigot each (fig. 171).
VARIATION: Tibia 1 in 8 other males: 4.1– 4.8 (x¯ = 4.4).
FEMALE: Tibia 1 (N = 12) 2.6–3.1 (x¯ = 2.8). In general very similar to male (see also fig. 6), but carapace without brown median band and ocular area not darker. Tips of pedipalps (metatarsus, tarsus) dark brown. Epigynum as shown in fig. 1270, internal genitalia as in fig. 1271.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from Santa Catarina ( Brazil).
MATERIAL EXAMINED: BRAZIL: Santa Catarina: Ilha do Arvoredo : types above ; Res. Biologica Arvoredo, Oct. 5–6, 1995 (A. A. Lise ‘‘et al.’’), 23 2♀ in MCP (7476) .
Tupigea teresopolis , new species Figures 1272–1277
TYPE: Male holotype from Teresópolis , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ; 900–1000 m elev., Mar. 1946 (H. Sick), in AMNH .
ETYMOLOGY: Named for the type locality. The specific name is a noun in apposition.
DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from congeners by the three pairs of apophyses on the male chelicerae (fig. 1277), and the short black spine retrolaterodorsally on the procursus (fig. 1274).
MALE (holotype): Total length 1.4, carapace width 0.57; leg 1 missing, tibia 2: 3.2, tibia 3: 2.1, tibia 4: 2.8. Habitus and prosoma shape as in figs. 1272–1273. Distance PME- ALE about 60% of PME diameter. Carapace ochre-yellow with brown Y mark behind oc- ular area, clypeus brown, sternum light brown with many yellowish spots. Chelicerae light ochre, with three pairs of apophyses with blackish tips, and pair of whitish depressions (fig. 1277). Palps as in figs. 1275– 1276, ochre-yellow, without retrolateral coxal apophysis, femur distally with pointed ventral apophysis (fig. 1276); procursus with subdistal black spine (fig. 1274); bulb with two reddish-brown, sclerotized apophyses (fig. 1275). Legs light ochre-yellow, without rings; legs without spines and curved hairs, few vertical hairs proximally on tibiae; tarsus 2 with ~ 16 pseudosegments. Opisthosoma monochromous greenish-yellow.
FEMALE: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality.

Tupigea sicki , new species Figures 1278–1286
TYPES: Male holotype, 13 paratype from Teresópolis , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ; 900– 1000 m elev., Mar. 1946 (H. Sick), in AMNH .
ETYMOLOGY: Named for the collector of the type material.
DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from congeners by the numerous cones on the male chelicerae (fig. 1284), and the two distinctive apophyses distally on the bulb (fig. 1286).
MALE (holotype): Total length 1.7 (2.0 if clypeus included), carapace width 0.7; leg 1: 21.0 (5.1+0.3+5.2+8.7+1.7), tibia 2: 3.2, tibia 3: 2.2, tibia 4: 2.7; tibia 1 l/d: 78. Habitus and prosoma shape as in figs. 1278– 1281. Entire prosoma ochre-yellow, only un- der eye triads light brown. AME completely absent; distance PME-ALE about 70% of PME diameter. Thoracic groove distinct. Clypeus almost horizontal (fig. 1278); sternum light ochre-brown. Chelicerae orange to light brown, with blackish cones in front (fig. 1284; I could not certainly say whether all are just cones or whether some—like the large pair near the midline—are actually modified hairs). Palps as in figs. 1282–1283, orange to light brown, small but distinct retrolateral coxal apophysis, femur proximally with round retrolateral apophysis, distally with pointed ventral apophysis (fig. 1283); procursus with simple tip (fig. 1285); bulb with two reddish-brown, sclerotized apophyses, one with tiny teeth and subdistal flap (fig. 1286). Legs light ochre-yellow, with darker patellae and tibia-metatarsus joints; legs without spines and curved hairs, few vertical hairs proximally on tibiae; retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 10%; tarsus 1 with ~ 23 pseudosegments. Opisthosoma monochromous ochre-yellow.
VARIATION: Tibia 1 in paratype: 4.9.
FEMALE: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality.
