Figs. 109–111

Type material. Female holotype from RPPN Serra Bonita [15°23'S 39°33’W], Camacan, Bahia, Brazil, 11–13.VI.2009, A. Chagas Jr, A. Kury, D. Pedroso, A. Giupponi and V. Dill, deposited in MNRJ (6120).

Etymology. The specific name is a patronymic in honor of arachnologist Adriano Kury, one of the collectors of the holotype.

Diagnosis. Females of Corinna kuryi n. sp. resemble those of C. rubripes and C. nitens by the copulatory opening placed posteriorly to primary spermathecae and posterior margin of epigynum projected beyond the epigastric groove, but differ by the copulatory ducts not visible ventrally, by the copulatory opening placed in undifferentiated area and by the posterior epigynal margin medially truncated ( Fig. 109 ).
