Diagnosis
. 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 (

). Female spermathecae unilobate, a dense glandular region (
Fig. 23E–F
