Emended diagnosis

The male of Idiops carajas (Figs 13A–I, 14) differs from the other Neotropical species, except I. petiti, by the palpal tibia having spines concentrated on the basal half of the retrolateral depression (Figs 13C, 14D), apophysis with a narrow rectangular apical branch (Figs 13G–H, 14C) and by the presence of a lateral lamella that extends along the median portion of the embolus (Figs 13E–F). Differs from I. petiti by having the subapical portion of the embolus thickened in dorsal view (Fig. 13D) and the arrow-shaped apical end in retrolateral view (Figs 13E–F, 14E). Females (Fig. 13J–L) are distinguished from congeners, except I. petiti, by having the spermathecae with a sclerotized trapezoidal base. Differs from I. petiti by the ducts having a thickened basal half and shorter apical half and by the rounded receptacles, separated from the ducts by a strong constriction (Fig. 13L).
