Diagnosis
Males are easily distinguished from all species in the genus by their strongly curved ventral projection of subtegulum and embolus ( Fig. 60 View Figs 60–62 ). Females are distinguished by their blunt knob-like projection and curved lateral epigynal grooves ( Fig. 63 View Figs 63 – 64 ).
Etymology
The speciFc name is a noun in apposition taken from the Kichwa language meaning ‘elongated’ in reference to the elongated male palpal tibia.
