(Figs 24–28)
Type material. Male holotype from 2 km NE. of Santa María, Almarena, Boyacá, Colombia, 4.857988°N,
73.262355°W, 6 December 2016, Andean forest leaf litter, L. R. Anderson, M.G. Branstetter (ICN-Ar10689). Paratypes: 1 male, 2 females and 1 juvenile, same data as holotype (ICN-Ar10690).
Diagnosis. Males of Fernandezina andersoni sp. n. can be distinguished from other congeners by presence of a thin embolus which is as long as the cymbium; and by the absence of a constricted neck on the palpal bulb (Figs 26–27). Females can be distinguished from other congeners by the longer and wider receptacles (Fig. 28).
Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym in honour of Dr. Robert Anderson, entomology research scientist at the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa.
