Tinus ursus Carico, 1976 . Designated here.</p><p>Etimology. The generic name is a noun taken from the Emberá languages that means “river spider” (do = river; barakuku = spider). Gender is masculine.</p><p>Diagnosis. Males can be distinguished from all other Thaumasiinae genera by the following combination of characters: narrow DTP occupying less than half the width of the cymbial alveolus (Fig. 3A), longer in Architis (Santos 2007b: fig. 2A) and Thaumasia (Silva &amp; Carico 2012: fig. 34), and absent in Tinus (Carico 1976: fig. 8); tegulum with PTP (Fig. 4A, C), absent in Architis (Sierwald 1990: fig. 23); DST with its basal part exposed at the prolateral margin of the tegulum in ventral view (Fig. 3A), absent in Architis (Sierwald 1990: fig. 23) and Thaumasia (Sierwald 1990: fig. 18); laminar, hyaline conductor covering the embolus tip (Fig. 3A), spatulated in Tinus (Carico 1976: fig. 12) and Thaumasia (Silva &amp; Carico 2012: fig. 145); vestigial MA (Fig. 3A), well-developed in Thaumasia (Silva &amp; Carico 2012: fig. 141); and stout embolus (Fig. 4A, C), filiform in Architis (Santos 2007b: fig. 4A), Thaumasia (Silva &amp; Carico 2012: fig. 140) and Tinus (Carico 1976: fig. 16), basally fused with the DST (Fig. 4A, C). Females can be diagnosed by the following combination of characters: prominent lateral lobes of the epigynum projecting posteriorly (Fig. 3C, D), smaller in Architis (Santos 2007b: fig. 16C) and Thaumasia (Silva &amp; Carico 2012: fig. 68); epigynum with two conspicuous oval atria (Fig. 3C, D), when present, smaller in Architis (Santos 2007b: fig. 3C); and elongated spermathecae head (Fig. 3D), subspherical in Tinus (Carico 1976: fig. 23).</p><p>Description. Medium sized nursery-web spiders, with males (total length 6.95–9.20) of similar size as females (total length 7.60–10.45). Carapace longer than wide, oval, narrowest anteriorly and widest between coxae II and III (Fig. 2A, D). Colouration yellowish-brown, with two lateral longitudinal pale stripes with irregular borders, extending from the anterior to the posterior edge, and a narrow light stripe along the midline (Fig. 2A, D). Covered with dark setae (Fig. 2C, F). Ocular area darker, eyes encircled by black rings (Fig. 2A, D). Thoracic fovea longitudinal and distinct. Anterior eye row straight in dorsal view; posterior eye row recurved. Median eyes larger than laterals. Clypeus height approximately 0.7 to 1.3 times anterior median eyes diameter. Chelicerae with two to three promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. Endites rectangular, with anteromedian scopula apically (Fig. 2B, E). Labium wider than long, distally truncated, and laterally notched in the proximal half (Fig. 2B, E). Sternum wider than long, posteriorly triangular, with posterior tip projecting between coxae IV (Fig. 2B, E). Leg tarsi with apical pseudosegment. Opisthosoma pilose, oval to cylindrical, longer than wide (Fig. 2A, D). Colouration dark yellow to dark brown marked with irregular light spots, plus two yellowish longitudinal stripes along the lateral margins, resembling those on the carapace, and two additional longitudinal stripes positioned closer to the medial region, converging near the posterior edge (Fig. 2A, D). Venter usually paler than dorsum (Fig. 2B, E). Six spinnerets, posterior laterals longer and narrower than anterior laterals.</p><p>Palp with retrolateral tibial apophysis conspicuous and bifurcated (Fig. 3A). The dorsal branch is thick, broad, and highly sclerotized at the tip, while the ventral branch is slender, curved, and less sclerotized at the tip (Fig. 3A). The cymbium presents a well-developed basal apophysis with rounded edges (Fig. 3A). The basal hematodocha expands prominently during the palp expansion (Fig. 4). The tegulum consists of two distinct portions. The basal portion is ring-shaped and strongly sclerotized, bearing a proximal tegular projection (PTP) near the point where the sperm duct enters the tegulum (Fig. 4A, C). The PTP is not visible in the unexpanded palp as it is covered by the distal tegular projection (DTP) (Fig. 3A). The distal portion of the tegulum is strongly sclerotized at its posterior border and membranous in its medial area (Fig. 3A). This portion bears the conductor, the median apophysis, and the DTP (Fig. 3A). The conductor is hyaline and extends apically, covering the embolus tip in the unexpanded palp (Fig. 3A). The median apophysis is vestigial (Fig. 3A). The DTP is highly sclerotized, prolaterally oriented, triangular, and has a rounded apical tip (Fig. 3A). The sperm duct passes through the edges of the DTP, reaching its apical tip, where it makes a U-turn to transition into the apical division of the palp (Fig. 4B). At this point, a basal membrane (BMT) connects the DTP to the distal sclerotized tube of the apical division (DST) (Fig. 4A). The embolus is fused to the DST (Fig. 4A, C). Its distal portion is flattened and curves retrolaterally in ventral view (Figs 3A, B, 4).</p><p>Epigynum with a subtriangular posterior field and prominent lateral lobes projecting posteriorly (Fig. 3C). Median field with a central elevation, separating two conspicuous oval atria (Fig. 3C). Spermatheca positioned laterally, with slender heads, longer than their stalks. Copulatory ducts short, subequal in size to the fertilization ducts (Fig. 3C, D).</p><p>Distribution. Known from the Pacific region of Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia (Fig. 5).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/830987AED92DFF9A3ACBFEB3FB7BE343	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We observed these spiders suspended over the middle of streams, attached to a single silk thread, with their front legs touching the water (Supplementary Material, Video S2), presumably in an attempt to catch prey. The individuals secure the distal end of the silk to a leaf or branch above the stream, then descend until legs I and II contact the water. Other individuals were seen on vegetation, trees, and rocks along the stream margins, with some positioning their legs on the water in a similar manner. Females carry the egg-sac in their chelicerae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/830987AED922FF9A3ACBFE06FADBE587	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
