Males of Masteria manauara differ from those of other species in the slender and elongated embolus, with narrow base ( Fig. 23B–C ). Females resemble those of M. petrunkevitchi and M . sabrinae n. sp. in the unilobed spermathecae, but differ from them in the long and coiled ducts ( Fig. 23E–F ). Description . Male and female described by Bertani et al . (2013 : 438). The following characters are included: eyes disposition in MEV ( Fig. 23A ). Male palp with short tibia, twice length of cymbium, with ventral depression and retrolateral group of 12̄14 short tactile setae ( Fig. 23C ). Cymbium as long as wide, with three apical spines. Palpal bulb globose, embolus three to four times length of tegulum and very thin ( Fig. 23B–C ). Female spermathecae unilobate, a dense glandular region ( Fig. 23E–F ). Distribution . Amazonas , Manaus ( Fig. 33 ).
