Ciniflella BRA , Ciniflella sp. BRA: Ramírez 2014 (scored morphological dataset).
Diagnosis. Males are similar to those of C. pains by having a very short embolus, but can be distinguished by the RTA with two tips and by the median apophysis without a small acute projection on the concave margin ( Figs 11B–D View FIGURE 11 , 16 View FIGURE 16 ) (RTA with single wide tip, median apophysis with a small tooth in C. pains , Fig. 17B–D View FIGURE 17 ). Females can be distinguished from those of other Ciniflella by the bell-shaped median plate of the epigynum ( Figs 11G View FIGURE 11 , 13F View FIGURE 13 , 25E–F View FIGURE 25 ) (narrower in other species, Figs 25C View FIGURE 25 , 26 View FIGURE 26 ).
Types. Male holotype together with 5 males and 8 females paratypes from Lavras (21°14′42″S 45°0′0″W) [- 21.24000, -45.01000], Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2002, no collector data ( IBSP 39615 View Materials ). Paratypes: Same data, 1 male and 1 female ( IBSP 39626 View Materials ) GoogleMaps .
Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Description. Male (holotype, IBSP 39615). Carapace and distal leg segments yellowish brown, sternum and coxae pale yellow, opisthosoma light cream. Total length 3.28. Carapace 1.54 long, 1.14 wide. Clypeus 0.03 high. Eye diameters and interdistances: AME 0.04, ALE 0.06, PME 0.04, PLE 0.06, AME–AME 0.02, AME–ALE 0.02, PME–PME 0.06, PME–PLE 0.04, ALE–PLE 0.02, AME–PME 0.03. Leg measurements: I: femur 1.70/ patella 0.64/ tibia 1.20/ metatarsus 1.02/ tarsus 0.64/ total 5.20; II: 1.18/0.52/0.86/0.88/0.60/4.04; III: 1.06/0.44/0.72/0.98 /0.54/3.74; IV: 1.40/0.64/1.26/1.52/0.76/5.58; leg formula: 4123. Leg spination: as in the genus pattern. Palp: RTA apex with a concave area flanked by two acute projections ( Fig. 16E View FIGURE 16 ), median apophysis with nearly basal origin; embous very short, with tip fitting in a folded terminal part of the hyaline conductor ( Fig. 16D View FIGURE 16 ).
Female (paratype, IBSP 36915). Coloration as in male, except by the opisthosoma light gray. Total length 4.00. Carapace 1.74 long, 1.06 wide. Clypeus 0.02 high. Cheliceral retromargin with three teeth. Eye diameters and interdistances: AME 0.04, ALE 0.08, PME 0.08, PLE 0.10, AME–AME 0.04, AME–ALE 0.02, PME–PME 0.07, PME–PLE 0.04, ALE–PLE 0.04, AME-PM 0.03. Leg measurements: I: femur 1.36/ patella 0.70/ tibia 1.12/ metatarsus 0.86/ tarsus 0.56/ total 4.60; II: 1.14/0.50/0.80/0.76/0.48/3.68; III: 1.00/0.50/0.78/0.78/0.56/3.62; IV: 1. 40/0.64/1.24/1.42/0.68/5.38. Leg formula: 4123. Leg spination: as in the genus pattern. Epigyne: Median plate bell-shaped, relatively short, leaving visible a large part of the posterior area of median field, this last with transversal folds, flanked by the nearly rounded bulbous projections, mating plugs on depressions at the sides of median plate ( Figs 11G View FIGURE 11 , 13F View FIGURE 13 , 25E View FIGURE 25 ). Copulatory ducts relatively short, spermathecae transversely oval ( Figs. 13G–H View FIGURE 13 , 25F View FIGURE 25 ).
