Type material: Holotype: male from Floresta Nacional do Araripe, Crato/Barbalha, Ceará, Brazil, II.2010, L.S. Carvalho (MPEG 20278). Paratype: 1 female, same data as holotype, MPEG 20279.
Etymology. The specific epithet is a noun (Latin) in apposition and refers to the enlarged chelicerae of males ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ), uncommon in the genus.
Diagnosis. Males can be distinguished from any other known species by the enlarged chelicerae ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ), while females can be recognized by the flaps arising at the posterior borders of the copulatory openings of the epigyne ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 13 – 18 ).
Description. Male holotype: Total length: 3.80. Carapace dark brown, 2.01 long, 1.37 wide, 0.97 high, with sparse white and golden scales ( Figs 4, 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ). Ocular quadrangle 0.90 long. Anterior eye row 1.28 wide and posterior 1.18 wide. Chelicera brown, enlarged ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ). Labium, sternum and endite yellow. Palp yellow, with strongly curved RTA and short embolus ( Figs 13-14 View FIGURES 13 – 18 ). Legs 1432; coxae and trochanters light brown; femur I dark brown, patella I and tibia I yellow; metatarsus I and tarsus I yellow, proximally dark brown; II-IV yellow, distal femora, distal tibiae, distal and proximal metatarsi and proximal tarsi dark brown. Length of femur: I 1.42, II 0.99, III 1.14, IV 1.09; patella + tibia: I 1.80, II 1.23, III 1.23, IV 1.28; metatarsus + tarsus: I 1.18, II 1.04, III 1.18, IV 1.42. Spination not elongate on forth legs, as in S. albipes (Ruiz, 2011, fig. 62). Abdomen cream-colored, variegated, with a dorsal light brown scutum; ventrally dark brown ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ). Anterior spinnerets yellow, posterior dark brown.
Female (paratype): Total length: 3.80. Carapace as in male, 2.01 long, 1.47 wide, 1.04 high ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ). Ocular quadrangle 1.06 long. Anterior eye row 1.37 wide and posterior 1.28 wide. Chelicera, endite, labium, sternum and palp light brown. Legs 4312, light brown; femora, tibiae and metatarsi proximally and distally dark brown, tarsi proximally dark brown, all articles fading from leg I to IV. Length of femur: I 1.09, II 1.04, III 1.18, IV 1.23; patella + tibia: I 1.42, II 1.18, III 1.23, IV 1.42; metatarsus + tarsus: I 0.95, II 0.95, III 1.28, IV 1.59. Spination: as in male. Abdomen dorsally variegated with dark brown ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ); ventrally cream-colored. Epigyne with no conspicuous median pocket, copulatory openings wide apart, with flaps on the posterior borders; copulatory ducts flow to the center, curve backwards and enter round spermathecae; nutritive glands near the fertilization ducts, which arise anteriorly ( Figs 15–16 View FIGURES 13 – 18 ). Spinnerets light brown.
