(MUSM-ENT 0514037, exuvia RKCP 0782) from Peru, Apurímac, Abancay, 2818 m a .s .l ., 23 October 2016, R . Kaderka col.
Etymology
The specific name refers to the type locality near the city of Abancay in Apurímac Department, Peru, and to one of two possible explanations of the origin of the word Abancay . According to Rodolfo Cerrón Palomino, a Peruvian linguist, it originates from the Quechuan ̍awanqay ̾, meaning ̍weaving place̾.
Diagnosis
Urupelma awanqay sp. n. differs from U. ashaninka sp. n., U. johannae sp. n., U. atarraz sp. n. and U. megantonianum sp. n. in the absence of urticating setae of type IV (only type III are present).
The males of U. awanqay sp. n. differs from all congeners in the presence of short and stout embolus with well-developed PI and developed R and SA keel, PS keel is absent ( Figure 28 View Figure 28 ). Two unequal subapical apophyses are present on male tibia I, basally fused, each with long spine. Palpal tibia retrolaterally with a cluster of short spiniform setae, the retrolateral process indistinct. Males of U. awanqay sp. n. differ from U. veronicae sp. n. and U. dianae sp. n. in having R keel developed and less developed TP in palpal bulb (weakly developed R keel and the presence of well-developed TP in palpal bulbs of U. veronicae sp. n. and U. dianae sp. n.).
